PVID

[MMacun]

external ssa disks two machines.
Both machines can see ssa disks, but only one has pvid's on disks. I would like to import VG on other machine but i don't have pvid's?????

When the VG that holds those disks is varied off on the server that has the PVID's you need to run "chdev -l hdiskx -a pv=yes" on the server that does not see the PVIDs. That command will import the PVIDs off of the disks. Then you can importvg the volume group info off of those disks.

how about importvg -L ?
on node with active VG : varyonvg -b -u <volumegroup>
on other node : importvg -L <volumegroup> hdiskx
on node with active VG : varyonvg <volumegroup>

That's probably because the other server still has the device open or reserved... Did you varyoffvg the VGs on the other server like Jim said?

I can't do this becouse i don't have PVID's from disk

I'd try to run cfgmgr -l ssaX for each card ssa0, ssa1, ... again on the server you want to access the disks from.
