Hi

I would like to take back the data from datavg ( 4 lv : fslv00, fslv01, tuxedo_lv and oracle_lv ), but I don't know what to do :(:(:(.

lsvg -l datavg
datavg:
LV NAME             TYPE       LPs     PPs     PVs  LV STATE      MOUNT POINT
loglv00             jfslog     1       1       1    closed/syncd  N/A
fslv00              jfs2       400     400     2    closed/syncd  /export/spot6166
fslv01              jfs2       240     240     2    closed/syncd  /u01
tuxedo_lv           jfs2       20      20      1    closed/syncd  N/A
loglv01             jfs2log    1       1       1    closed/syncd  N/A
oracle_lv           jfs2       28      28      1    closed/syncd  N/A

Hi,

You might want to have a look at your history, it might give some insight here. I'm assuming that you are logged on as root and that you are the only user logged on as root?

Regards

Dave

rootvg

I have just cloned rootvg. After booting from alt_disk_rootvg, I lost datavg. I did " importvg datavg ", but I can't find the data althought these data still exist on the disks.

lspv

Did you do a varyoffvg before? ( importvg that is...)

No :(:(:frowning:

As per your own listing "/u01" is not part of the VG "datavg". Where the FS comes from is unclear.

Post the output of the following two commands:

lsvg          # shows list of VGs
lsvg -o | lsvg -li   # shows list of LVs of all VGs varied on

I hope this helps.
