Hey Mark... Tried that... Works on some PVs but not all in the VG... The message is
vgcfgrestore -- "/dev/dasdu1" may not be an actual physical volume of volume group "vgdata" So now I have a real mess.... Thank you!

I'm trying to restore a vg config . On the cfg backup the original pv was /dev/dasdt1 (PV UUID last digits KgtiDw). The current pv is /dev/dasdu1 and I mucked up the VGDA on that PV so that it has another PV UUID). Now I'm trying to fix it... vgcfgrestore -f /etc/lvmconf/vgdata.conf.1.old --name vgdata -o /dev/dasdt1 -v /dev/dasdu1 says vgcfgrestore -- "/dev/dasdu1" may not be an actual physical volume of volume group "vgdata" Why can't I get LVM to just write the /dev/dasdt1 backup onto the /dev/dasdu1 VGDA??
