    Good morning all,

    I've written about this overall topic before, and received excellent
    information, so I hope someone will recognize this wrinkle.

    IBM p671 split into 2 LPARs. EMC SAN connected to each LPAR, but
    separate LUNs are visible to each host. I've built BCVs to be
    accessible by one host, regular LUNs visible to the other host.

    When I did the initial testing, I was able to establish the BCV mirror,
    split the mirror, and importvg all the volume groups without problem.
    However, I try it now, and the PVIDs and volume group information
    doesn't seem to be getting copied from disk to BCV disk. Here are the
    commands I'm using:

    $SYMMIR -g ODWH -full establish DEV001 BCV ld BCV001 \
                                    DEV002 BCV ld BCV002 \
                                    .
                                    .
                                    DEV040 BCV ld BCV040

    # run a script to move the DB to "backup mode"

    $SYMMIR -g ODWH split -noprompt

    At this point, I would expect to see the PVIDs and other information on
    the BCVs that are visible to this particular host. However, they appear
    to be blank, with no PVIDs present.

    Any suggestions appreciated.
