Error on HACMP5.3 volume group on raw devices after exporting vg

[cris1357]

Hi all,

We have a problem after exporting a exhanced concurrent capable VG accessed in concurrent mode, created on raw devices ( pSeries 590 AIX5.3 + HACMP5.3 +SAN4300) from node A to node B.
On node B the VG is correct activated by HACMP, but on node A we have 0516-306 error "Unable to find volume group vg01 in the Device Configuration Database".

Many thanks

Cristi

I think all you need to do is to import the vg again on node A coz it was removed from the odm!

try this first on node A:

odmget -q name="vg01" CuDv

if you can't find this in the ODM then try importing the vg01 on node A using this command (I prefer the cluster to be down!)

importvg -V majorNo -y vg01 hdisk?

The major number in here should match node B vg01's major number and try picking one hdisk in that volume to be used here in the command.

It should be ok in here if not then i think you have to varyon the vg in passive mode first:

varyonvg -cnP vg01

try the above and then keep me posted

Good luck
