[LVM] duplicate VGs
Hi all!
I have cloned a LUN. This LUN has a Linux VM with LVM. The new cloned LUN has been mapped to a server and discovered with iSCSI. I need to mount the filesystem in a Dom0 because is necessary change some files (network).
When I run a vgscan the new VG is found with its own orignal name "vg00". The VG created in Dom0 is called vg00 too and here start the problem:
# vgscan
Reading all physical volumes. This may take a while...
Found volume group "vg00" using metadata type lvm2
Found volume group "vg00" using metadata type lvm2
# pvs
PV VG Fmt Attr PSize PFree
/dev/sda2 vg00 lvm2 a- 67.62G 33.66G
/dev/sdbc2 vg00 lvm2 a- 7.88G 0
I could change the name of the VG using the UUID but if I do that the VM wont boot because vg00 is not found. Of course the vg00 active (dom0 system) could not be renamed because of its state.
I can't activate the VG (vgchange -ay vg00) because vg00 (Dom0) is already activated.
It is not possible mount /dev/iscsi/xxx/part because is LVM formated
Any idea about how to mount the inactive vg00?
thanks in advance
