After restoring my root volume group,
vgdisplay shows an error message:

[root@achilles]# vgdisplay
vgdisplay: Couldn't query volume group "/dev/vg00".
Possible error in the Volume Group minor number; Please check and make sure the group minor number
is unique.
vgdisplay: Cannot display volume group "/dev/vg00".
--- Volume groups ---

But the minor numbers of my two volume groups seem to be OK:

[root@achilles]# ls -l /dev/vg*

/dev/vg00:

Check the /dev recursivly for device files for the same mayor and minor
nnumbers like in /dev/vg00.

Or, if you have ServiceGuard installed there is in some circumstances a
devicefile with the same mayor and minor number. Not shure, but i think
it is /dev/slvm...
