    Hello,

    I try to access to data after connect a new disk (hdisk1) to a AIX 7.1 system
    This new disk was assigned to a rootvg from another AIX 6.1 system.

    It seem not assigned to any vg

    # lspv
    hdisk0 00c80d35517d435f rootvg active
    hdisk1 00c80d35577935af None

    but if I tried to assigned hdisk1 to rootvg i get :

    # extendvg rootvg hdisk1
    0516-1398 extendvg: The physical volume hdisk1, appears to belong to
    another volume group. Use the force option to add this physical volume
    to a volume group.
    0516-792 extendvg: Unable to extend volume group.

    Data seem to be always here ... ouf ;-)
    lqueryvg -p hdisk1 -At
    0516-320 lqueryvg: Physical volume hdisk1 is not assigned to
    a volume group.

    I don't want to loose data, but how can I access them in this new system ?

    Thanks

    If you won't use to boot another system again, you can import it in a "new" volume group. AIX LVM will rename all logical volumes if conflicted.

    Solution :

    • disconnect disk
    • cfgmr
    • importvg (same error with vgid)
    • recreatevg -y newvg hdisk1 (ok)
