Hi everyone,
I just restored an AIX 6.1 LPAR from one JS12 blade to another. I've done this several times before without issues. But this time, the restore completed successfully, all file systems are mounted, I can even start WebSphere and all the apps. However, when I try to do lsvg <volumegroup> it says:
"Volume group must be varied on; use varyonvg command."
Then I try varyonvg <volumegroup> and it says:
0516-013 varyonvg: The volume group cannot be varied on because
there are no good copies of the descriptor area.
So apparently the descriptor area is missing. I don't know what this means. When I did the restore, the only thing different was the size of the LUNs in the SAN. So, there is more disk on the partition I restored to. Other than that, everything's the same.
Does anyone have any ideas??
