Hi Ralph,

May I assume you ran vgcfgbackup prior to your present need to
successfully use vgcfgrestore? :v) Hopefully, so. If yes, take a look at
the backup file created the last time you ran vgcfgbackup. Does the
metadata saved in that file match all of your volume groups as they
currently exist? Hopefully, you have been fairly 'religious' about
running vgcfgbackup immediately making and verifying any changes to your
volume groups.

Best regards,
