Lvm2-pvscan service error on Suse LPAR or machine boot

From Notes_Wiki

Home > Suse > Lvm2-pvscan service error on Suse LPAR or machine boot

If we see following error while booting Suse LPAR or physical machine:

FAILED] Failed to start LVM2 PV scan on device 254:7.
See 'systemctl status lvm2-pvscan@254:7.service' for details

Then the issue can be resolved by:

  1. Login into emergency mode by entering root password
  2. Start the lvm2 service manually:
    systemctl start lvm2-pvscan@254:7.service
  3. Then resume booting with
    systemctl default
  4. After this the further reboots of the machine did not require above steps again. In future lvm2-pvscan seemed to start properly.
