<div dir="ltr">Hi,
<div> We had an OS crash on x86_64 CentOS , LVM2 and it had 6TB
LUN via IP SCSI SAN mounted to it and after the OS reinstall
on a crash we had hard time to mount the original SAN volume
as you can imagine 6TB of marketing data with 3 LVM partitions
as data data1 and data2 . After troubleshooting almost for a
day I was able to get the LVM metadata using dd from the SAN
LUN /dev/sdd1 which I used to recreate and restore all LVM
partitions back to original state , we sure became the raving
fans of LVM today ! however after all the recovery I see this
annoying warning each time I execute any of the lvm commands

1) The the same lun presented to the computer more than once? If
this is a deliberate thing for redundancy then your need to setup
multipath to take advantage use the devices in /dev/mapper of this
and mask off the raw /dev/sd? devices in your /etc/lvm/lvm.conf<br>
<br>
2) Did you copy all the data from one disk to another? if so is the
old disk still available to the system?<br>
<br>
3) Check you lun masking.<br>
