I controlled the script of bootstrap  to see if there is the apropiated entry, 
and it seems is ok, i also re-started the server .
I  tried "vgscan" and i have the output:
invalidate :dirty buffer 
invalidate :busy buffer  
(any time)
vgscan -- "/etc/lvmtab" and  "7etc/lvmtab.d" successfully created 
vgscan -- WARNING: this programm doe not do a VGDA backup of your group

after i do :
vgchange -ay 
and the output was:
vgchange -- no volume group found 

so i made the restore:
vgcfgrestore .........
the ouptput was 
vgcfgrestore -- VGDA for "Volume1" successfully restored to phisical volume 
"/dev/i2o/hda3" 
vgcfgrestore  -- you may not have an actual backup of restored group "volume1"

then i can do  vgchange -ay  and go on 

This is all , was it the matter?

Thank you
