Error description
if /image.data contains LV_SOURCE_DISK_LIST= hdiskX Executing command: /usr/sbin/alt_disk_copy -i "/image.data" -P "all" -B -d "hdiskXY" Will output Warning messages like : 0516-014 lquerypv: [hdiskX]: The physical volume appears to belong to another volume group. 0516-822 mklv: Unable to create logical volume. Warning: mklv unable to create logical volume xxx on disk(s) hdiskX, as specified in the image.data file.The location for this logical volume will be handled by the mklv command.
Local fix
Don't use the image.data Or empty LV_SOURCE_DISK_LIST in image.data
Problem summary
When doing an alt_disk_{copy,mksysb} with both an image.data provided with the -i flag and a list of target disks with the -d flag, we attempt to create a LV on the incorrect disks if one of LV disks (as listed in the image.data by the LV_SOURCE_DISK_LIST field) is a substring of a target disk. A similar error message will be displayed: 0516-014 lquerypv: hdiskX : The physical volume appears to belong to another volume group. 0516-822 mklv: Unable to create logical volume. Warning: mklv unable to create logical volume xxx on disk(s) hdiskX, as specified in the image.data file.The location for this logical volume will be handled by the mklv command.
Problem conclusion
Match the entire disk name.
Temporary fix
