ITEM: BJ8335L

Unable to create volume group data file!

Env:
  AIX 3.2.3
  sysback 3.3.3.0

Desc:
  Customer tries to run a full system backup using
  the sysback -f /dev/rmt\#  command and it failes
  with this message:
    Unable to create volume group data file!

Action:
  mkvginfo -Sf rootvg
  It returned nothing to the screen
  The command has a return code of 1

  I had the customer put a set -x in the mkvginfo 
  script.  It is failing at this point

  getlvminfo -V $vgname -1ASqpN | \\
  read autoon ppsize quorum vgpvnames
  
  Since this is AIX 3.2.3 there is no quorum flag in the
  vgda or ODM.  I had the customer change the above to 
  this

  getlvminfo -V $vgname -1ASpN | \\
  read autoon ppsize vgpvnames

(Take the -q flag off and quorum as well)

That corrected the problem!!

Next Action:
  Closing with customer approval
