DescriptionDefect ID
Booting a volume group using maintenance mode boot can result in the corruption of the
root file system. The symptom is an error message to the system console on the next boot
similar to the following: fsadm: ERROR: V-3-20295: device record checksum
is invalid.

For Version 2.0 and higher volume groups, pvmove dumps core when a logical volume is
moved to the primary and alternate link of a physical volume.
QXCR1000974930
For Version 2.0 and higher volume groups, vgextend does not always succeed for an
alternate link of a physical volume that is already a part of other volume group.
QXCR1000975395
In some instances, when using mirrored logical volumes, a pvmove auto rebalance fails
with an error stating insufficient free space, even though enough free space is available for
rebalance operation.
QXCR1000975928
The vgcfgrestore command with the -o option fails on Version 2.x volume groups if
the physical volume can no longer be accessed using the old device special file. The
vgcfgrestore command fails with a message similar to the following: vgcfgrestore:
Volume group "/dev/vgname" does not exist in the "/etc/lvmtab_p"
file. "/dev/rdisk/disk118": not a character device.
QXCR1000982713
For Version 1.0 volume groups, if pvmove is invoked with primary and alternate links for
the same physical volume, configuration data corruption can occur.
QXCR1000985558
Reading from /dev/lvm_private/lvmp causes the following system panic: panic:
Fault when executing in kernel mode. The stack trace shows that the panic occurs
in lvmp_strategy.
QXCR1000985574
If a Version 1.0 volume group has physical volumes larger than the volume group maximum
physical extent per physical volume value (as shown by vgdisplay) and you use the
vgversion command to convert the Version 1.0 volume group to a Version 2.x volume
group , data loss can occur.
QXCR1000988757
If two logical volumes with mounted HFS filesystems are merged while they are both still
mounted, the lvmerge command hangs.
QXCR1000992671
The pstat interface pstat_getlv() fails on logical volumes in Version 2.x volume groups
when a dev_t is passed as an argument.
QXCR1000995910
LVM must provide new services related to the cluster lock disk for use by HP Serviceguard
to solve the HP Serviceguard defect described in QXCR1001006167.
QXCR1001012634
The cluster lock is not cleared correctly during cluster lock initialization on Version 2.x
volume groups. This defect was introduced in the HP-UX 11i v3 March 2008 Fusion release.
