Try to get all data in advance (before deactivating the VG). I still can't imagine why the VG will disappear. Try with 'pvscan --cache' to redetect the PV. Afrer all , all VG info is in the PVs' headers and should be visible no matter the VG is deactivated or not. Best Regards, Strahil NikolovOn Oct 2, 2019 02:08, jeremy_tourville@hotmail.com wrote:

"lvs -a" does not list the logical volume I am missing. "lvdisplay -m /dev/gluster_vg1-lvthinpool-tpool_tmeta" does not work either.  Error message is: Volume Group xxx not found.  Cannot process volume group xxx."

I am trying to follow the procedure from https://access.redhat.com/solutions/3251681 I am on step #2  Step 2a and 2b work without issue.  Step 2c give me an error.  Here are the values I am using: # lvcreate -L 2G gluster_vg3 --name tmpLV # lvchange -ay gluster_vg3/tmpLV # lvconvert --thinpool gluster_vg1/lvthinpool --poolmetadata gluster_vg3/tmpLV

VG name mismatch from position arg (gluster_vg1) and option arg (gluster_vg3)

Do I need to create the LV on the same disk that failed?  (gluster_vg1) Is creating a new LV on (gluster_vg3) ok for this situation? _______________________________________________ Users mailing list -- users@ovirt.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@ovirt.org Privacy Statement: https://www.ovirt.org/site/privacy-policy/ oVirt Code of Conduct: https://www.ovirt.org/community/about/community-guidelines/ List Archives: https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/users@ovirt.org/message/OJN6VVEMQY743W...
