HPUX 11.11
I pulled the cable to c11 intentionally
Now when I try to activate the vg, it tells me device does not exist (which is correct). But, I forgot to vgreduce the c11 path from VG before deactivating the VG. Now, I want to go back and vgreduce in order to do that, I need to activate the VG. How can i go about activating the VG ?
# vgchange -a y ops

Pretty much same thing. I am thinking of rename lvmtab. and then do a vgscan. Will that take care of it.

well, as i know vgscan will not consider the unconfiugred/deactivated VGs. But it does include those VGs which are activated during its last boot. you can give it a try by having a proper backup of your /etc/lvmtab.
Also, i noticed this line in your error that
***** vgchange: Activation mode requested for the volume group "/dev/ops" conflicts with configured mode. ***********
is this volume group is a part of the cluster?
Can you paste the output of the current /etc/lvmtab.
