I have a AIX 5.1 server and an EMC CX600 disk Array. I am using powerpath to clone my disks. I can mount the clones on a backup server once, but if I synchronise the disk again and try and mount them on the backup server a second time it fails. I have tried redefine, recreate, import the VG but nothing works....any ideas?????

Sorry I'm new to this and haven't got the terminology yet.
I have fractured a clone disk and I am trying to mount this clone on a backup box. The first I run recreatevg -y testvg hdisk* this works fine, I then export the vg and sysnchronise it on the EMC. When I fracture the clone a second time and try and remount on my backup back I get errors like this ::recreatevg -p -y testvg hdisk2
0516-062 lqueryvg: Unable to read or write logical volume manager
record. PV may be permanently corrupted. Run diagnostics
or
importvg -L testvg hdisk2
0516-306 getlvodm: Unable to find volume group testvg in the Device
Configuration Database.
Does this help ?

I have got a lot further with this issue. There were a few things to be changed on the EMC. The issue I am having now is. I have 2 VG's to fracture and mount on a backup server. One works fine and I can mount it no problem. The second gives errors when I varyonvg and fails to mount. If I do a lsvg -l ont this VG I can see that the jfslogs for this VG are listed as jfs. I can't mount the filesystems without the jfslogs. Has anyone ever seen this before. I don't know if there is an issue on the EMC disk configuration or on my backup node. Really don't know where to start looking.....
