    If you are in a MC/SG env you probably have AUTO_VG_ACTIVATE=0 set in
    /etc/lvmrc

    Take a look at the /etc/lvmrc file so see how to specify which non vg00
    VGs get activated on startup.

    Greetings. Have a K460 that is running 11.0 and volume manager. It is
    also
    part of a cluster. Only the root vg is mirrored. For the most part,
    the
    machine boots and reboots fine. However, there is one file system, the
    ONLY
    file system on vg02, that does not mount on bootup. It is in
    /etc/fstab, but
    on bootup, a message gets displayed on the screen that the file system
    failed to mount. Trying to mount the filesystem manually fails, but
    also
    produces a message that vg02 is not active. Running a vgcfgrestore and
    then
    a vgchange on vg02 does reactivate the volome group and then it can be
    mounted. I am hoping that I can get some advice as to what to check
    into as
    to why vg02 is not activating on a system boot. A pvdisplay and a
    vgdisplay
    seems to show good results, i.e., nothing is stale.
