Hi,

   The "pvpath" command appears to have vanished in SLES9.  We use "pvpath"
and LVM multipathing for a dozen Linux guests running SLES8.  Using SLES9,
"pvcreate" works fine, but "vgcreate" complains about duplicate "PV"
identifiers (on the alternate path devices).  Although "vgcreate" indicates
that the volume group was sucessfully created, it isn't.

   I have 8 paths to each FCP LUN on an IBM ESS.  So, /dev/sd[b-h] are the
same devices as /dev/sda.  Works just fine under SLES8.  I am able to define
the LUN mapping in SLES9 using YaST2 LVM.  I just can't convince "vgcreate" to
do the right thing.

   Any ideas?

Thanks,
Arty
