How do I import and use a hardware snapshot of an LVM volume group?
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
clonedVGs so that they can be mounted all at the same time?
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7
- LVM2
- SAN-based VG snapshots/clones
