After a really strong work I got LVM working on all the 3 machines !!!! i created three Volume Groups, one for machine. Now, I would like to export them to get only one virtual group. I am trying to export them to a machine and merge the volume groups but I do not success trying to export them.I have not find many documentation about this ?!? Thats my 3 machines: N1, N2 and N3. From N2 I try to export my VG to N1. N2> vgchange -a n 'vg_name' N2> vgexport 'vg_name' >From N1 I type, N1>vgimport 'vg_name' /dev/sda3 (this vg is made from /dev/sda3 ) but I only get error messages !!!! pv_create_name_from_kdev_t -- LEAVING with dev_name: /dev/sda3 pv_read -- LEAVING with ret: 0 vgimport -- ERROR: physical volume "/dev/sda3" doesn't belong to an exported volume group Does anybody try this ?!!!!
