Hi,

I have been testing de VirtualizeMe function and I have a problem with a system with a “peculiar” disk design.

This system has a LVM partition spanning over 6 disks (I know, right?) and I get an error at the format disk step.

Anything in particular where this couldn’t work?

Hi FQueiroloCeibal, 

There should not be any issue in restoring LVM spanned over 6 Disks .
can you please share current Commvault version and ISO being used for restore ?

if possible please share #lsblk output from Source server .

Thanks for the update  FQueiroloCeibal. 
 

The error is because of irregular underlying Partition number for PV .

instead of Disk  partitions starting with sdc1 / sdd1 , we have partitions starting with sdc3 /sdd4
