- On an AIX 3.2.3+ system we get the message:
-
- 0516-366 lsvg: Volume group rootvg is locked - try again
-
- We get this message whenever we try to do an "lsvg rootvg" command. This
- started to occur, I think after some downtime in which our nvram was
- corrupt and I had tried to use the "bosboot" command to install a boot file
- on an hdiskn which may or may not have been correct. Our system, running
- AIX 3.2.3 with additional PTF's seems to run normally after I finally figured
- out that we needed to reset the sequence of boot devices in nvram after booting
- from our diagnostics diskettes. Should we be worried
- about our volume group being "locked"? If so, how do we go about unlocking
- it?
-
- A 2nd question: At boot time we get the message "/dev/hd5 - not an AIX
- logical volume" or something like that (I'm afraid I didn't write it down).
- /dev/hd5 is the partition "/blv". Why is this partition defined, and what
- does it do? Only this one machine complains that it isn't an AIX logical
- volume -- is that a message we should worry about.
-
- These things are happening on a working system, but any useful advice or
- answers will definitely be appreciated.
-
- Thanks in advance.
