Mount LVM partition from a new group

Hello,

We have had a controller failure and moved the LVM disk to another server.

Now the question is: How to mount this particular volume/partition (/dev/sdb3) and create the needed block device?

Code:

[root@x3430-24403 /]# pvscan
  PV /dev/sdb3   VG sys-0xx9   lvm2 [461.22 GB / 0    free]
  PV /dev/sda3   VG sys-oxp4   lvm2 [461.22 GB / 0    free]
  Total: 2 [922.44 GB] / in use: 2 [922.44 GB] / in no VG: 0 [0   ]

Thanks!

The trick was to mark VG active with "vgchange -ay":

Code:

  inactive          '/dev/sys-0xx9/root' [457.22 GB] inherit
  inactive          '/dev/sys-0xx9/vartmp' [2.00 GB] inherit
  inactive          '/dev/sys-0xx9/tmp' [2.00 GB] inherit
  ACTIVE            '/dev/sys-oxp4/root' [457.22 GB] inherit
  ACTIVE            '/dev/sys-oxp4/tmp' [2.00 GB] inherit
  ACTIVE            '/dev/sys-oxp4/vartmp' [2.00 GB] inherit

Thanks for watching anyway...
