The -E will exclude three disks and the VG's that are on them, vgroot-san and vgapps1. The OS VG is vgroot. The file $MINDI_TMP/excludedvgs contains:


{{{
vgroot-san
vgapps1
}}}

In the function ProcessLogicalVolume in analyze-my-lvm, in the section:


{{{
        # Do not process LV whose VG are excluded
        if [ -f $MINDI_TMP/excludedvgs ]; then
                if [ ""`grep $volume_group $MINDI_TMP/excludedvgs`"" != """" ]; then
                        echo ""Not including LV $logical_volume as VG $volume_group was excluded""
                        return
                fi
        fi

}}}

The grep will filter out the OS VG, vgroot because it starts with the same characters as the excluded VG, vgroot-san. This causes all of the lvcreate lines in the lvm.res file to look like:


{{{
Finally, create the LV's (logical volumes).

}}}

Changing the grep to an awk fixes the problem:

{{{
        # Do not process LV whose VG are excluded
        if [ -f $MINDI_TMP/excludedvgs ]; then
                if [ ""`awk -v vg=$volume_group '{if ($1 == vg){print $1}}' /mindi.BpVqvA6553/excludedvgs`"" != """" ]; then
                        echo ""Not including LV $logical_volume as VG $volume_group was excluded""
                        return
                fi
        fi

}}}
