Rebuilding VGDA

[unixfreak]

Right, I just screwed up. Biggest I've ever done. This is what you get for going to work after only two hours sleep. This is what I've done:

Got confused about a disk that hadn't been imported as datavg as it was supposed to. It's a single 220GB ESS disk.

I managed to force create a testvg on this disk that had the data on it. I then proceded to reducevg it out of the testvg hence removing the VG completely before I realised what I was doing.

I haven't touched it since. My question is now, it there any way of rebuilding the VGDA and getting my VG and 200GB data and filesystems back? Please help!

Thanks!
Henrik

Have you tried importvg?

Yup - nothing left!

As far as i'm aware as long as you assign a disk to a new VG then your previous VGDA would be removed and a new one will be rebuilt. I don't think that you can get your data any more. Sorry for that.
