Go to the Console screen and enter CTRL + ALT + X (Extended tools) select the run
"Repair filesystem on LV (Logical Volumes)" . Be warned that the system will restart. After the restart go back and select the "select default volume group".
In the extended tools console I have no "Repair Filesystem on LV" command, I am talking to the support via telephone but they haven't come back to me.
They had the same recommendation but I am stuck, and I can see that it has the one VG selected as default. So the question now seems to be how to get that command, and nobody thinks upgrading is a good move at this point.
You are correct that the iSCSI-R3 does not have this, sorry for the confusion to many of us are using the DSS product and get crossed on what is in the Ext. tools for booth.
If this system had only 1 Volume Group (VG00) and you have tried the option to "Restore LVM..." and was not able to see the VG00 then have you done a RAID verify for each of the RAID 6’s that reside on the RAID controller. Also any errors from the RAID controller logs?
I Have looked at the raid log and nothing seems to have gone wrong. It is a single Areca with 16 sata drives - the web log doesn't show any errors and two Raid6 volumes are healthy.
We feel it is just something stuck in the system volume. Don't know what to do next to get rid of this no system volume problem.
Upgraded to latest version of iscsi-r3 as per instructions from support tonight. All looks same, no improvement.
