Error description
During a Linux mount operation the following error is shown: On the VE User Interface: WARNING ANS3141W Mounting the following devices failed: 'lvm lvs -a --noheadings lvm2'. WARNING ANS3150W The block device '/dev/sdb' of type 'LVM2_member' failed to mount. Volume group "lvm2" not found. Cannot process volume group lvm2 ' ERROR ANS3101E The mount operation for virtual machine 'vm01' failed with rc = 5. For more details, check the Recovery Agent logs. ERROR ANS3174E (RC6841) The virtual machine mount failed. On the File Restore User Interface: "An error occurred while loading the backup. If the problem persists, contact your administrator" The frapi.log file shows: <log4j:message><![CDATA[An error occurred while loading the backup. If the problem persists, contact your administrator.]]> </log4j:message> ... <log4j:data name="action" value="MountLoad"/> ... <tsm:returnCode>6841</tsm:returnCode> Customer/L2 Diagnostics : A service trace of the Linux mount proxy client shows the following errors : Volume group "lvm2" not found Cannot process volume group lvm2 The error is logged because the Linux guest VM at the time of the backup contains one or more LVM Physical Volumes without a Volume Group assigned. To verify this run the 'lvm pvs' command on the guest VM and check if the Volume Group is not empty for each Physical Volumes As example the following command shows 2 Physical Volumes, /dev/sdb and /dev/sdc, without a Volume Group assigned. >lvm pvs PV VG Fmt Attr PSize Pfree /dev/sda1 vg_01 lvm2 a--u 2.45g 0 /dev/sda2 vg_02 lvm2 a--u 5.22g 0 /dev/sdb lvm2 ---- 55.00m 55.00m /dev/sdc lvm2 ---- 55.00m 55.00m Initial Impact: Low Additional Keywords: SP TSM VE FLR Versions Affected: IBM Spectrum Protect for Virtual Environments V7.1 and V8.1
Local fix
Ensure that a Volume Group is assigned to each Physical Volumes of each Linux guest VM used for IBM Spectrum for Virtual Environments Linux mount operations.
