How do I import and use a hardware snapshot of an LVM volume group?

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • Part of a disaster recovery process requires systems to have multiple copies (snapshots) of production data presented to hosts at one time. How do I properly change the UUIDs of the associated volume group (VG) and physical volume (PV) of snapshot or cloned VGs so that they can be mounted all at the same time?
