Were you able to verify that the device is online? If lscss is unavailable, go to the dev directory: Determine the device number (say 204) either from an lsdasd or cat /proc/dasd/devices cd /sys/bus/ccw/drivers/dasd-eckd/0.0.0204 cat online . . . .if value zero (offline), then echo 1 > online

Lost VG info I'm already having a bad day. I took one of our Linux Instances down to add more disk space to it. Everything went fine. I used Yast2 to add the new volumes to the VG. Now when I IPL, it cant find the volume group. I ran a PVSCAN, and it shows all my physical volumes are associated to an unknown VG. I've looked at several commands, but I guess I just don't understand. Hopefully my data is not lost. Is there a way to rebuild the VG? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
