I have been testing TSM bare metal restore of SLES9 s390 by using another SLES9 s390 and mounting the Linux to be restored volumes on to /mnt and have successfully restored the SLES9 and booted no problem. The problem I have is that the Linux I used to recover the failed Linux instance both had the same volume group name so I had to create a unique volume group name for the Linux to be restored. Now that I have the recovered Linux up and running I want to rename the group name from xvg1 back to vg1.
Any thoughts on how I can rename my volume group when it is an active volume group ? My filesystems show vg1 on the recovered Linux but show xvg1 on the vgdisplay and lvdisplay: Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/dasda1 97M 73M 20M 79% / tmpfs 251M 0 251M 0% /dev/shm /dev/mapper/vg1-usr 3.0G 835M 2.0G 30% /usr /dev/mapper/vg1-var 248M 87M 149M 37% /var /dev/mapper/vg1-opt 179M 115M 55M 68% /opt /dev/mapper/vg1-opt.xxxxxx 3.0G 63M 2.8G 3% /opt/xxxxxx /dev/mapper/vg1-opt.xxxxxx.ff 485M 17M 444M 4% /opt/xxxxxx/ff /dev/mapper/vg1-opt.xxxxxx.zzzz 2.0G 33M 1.9G 2% /opt/xxxxxx/zzzz /dev/mapper/vg1-home 194M 17M 168M 10% /home /dev/mapper/vg1-tmp 194M 17M 168M 9% /tmp --- Volume group --- VG Name xvg1 System ID Format lvm2 Metadata Areas 3 Metadata Sequence No 10 VG Access read/write VG Status resizable MAX LV 255 Cur LV 9 Open LV 9 Max PV 255 Cur PV 3 Act PV 3 VG Size 13.65 GB PE Size 4.00 MB Total PE 3494 Alloc PE / Size 2415 / 9.43 GB Free PE / Size 1079 / 4.21 GB VG UUID xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx LV Name /dev/xvg1/usr VG Name xvg1 LV UUID xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx LV Write Access read/write LV Status available # open 1 LV Size 3.00 GB Current LE 768 Segments 2 Allocation next free (default) Read ahead sectors 0 Block device 253:8 TIA .........................
