  • 1.  PVID only visible after importvg ?

    Hi,
    I have SAN disk visible to two AIX machines.
    This disk has vg with some filesystems on it.
    While PVID is shown on one machine, lspv returns 'none' on other machine.
    My question:
    Does my second machine must see PVID instantly and because it doesn't it's some kind of error, or PVID is shown only after importvg( vg is not imported yet on second machine) and situation with PVID 'none' is OK ?

    thanks

    This will tell the system to read the pvid on the the physical disk.

    I must be sure that this command reads PVID not creates new one.
