Comment 2 Bryn M. Reeves 2012-03-21 16:56:37 UTC
Do you have any volume groups defined? What do "pvs" and "pvs -a" show?

Comment 3 Eduardo Trejo 2012-03-21 17:11:22 UTC
It has a defined volume group.

Comment 4 Eduardo Trejo 2012-03-21 17:20:28 UTC
as additional data the server is connected to a SAN and have LUNs presented

Comment 5 Milan Broz 2012-03-21 17:48:09 UTC
lvm2-2.02.56-8.el5 is version from RHEL 5.5 and according to duplicate devices, you have some misconfigured multipath device.
Also /etc/lvm/archive/vg00_00002.vg is a backup, not current state of the system.

You should update your system (even RHEL 5.5 contains update - lvm2-2.02.56-8.el5_5.6) or the best, update to RHEL5.8.

Bugzilla is not a support tool, engineering cannot directly provide support for these old releases.
For production support please contact Red Hat support through support channels http://www.redhat.com/support/process/
Thanks you.

Comment 6 Heinz Mauelshagen 2012-03-22 14:45:49 UTC
Are you able to access your LUNs at all or is there a SAN flaw?
E.g. "dd if=/sdr of=/dev/null bs=8k count=1"

Comment 7 Eduardo Trejo 2012-03-23 14:29:41 UTC
I have no problem to access the LUNs.

Only when I want to display LVM configuration
