I was told that this is incorrect information by Heinz and that you _should_ run vgscan after running vgcfgrestore because it brings the /etc/lvmtab and /etc/lvmtab.d/ in sync with the newly restored VGDA.

C- is best described as a "low-level" programming language. In fact, the language generally requires more C- statements than machine-code statements to execute a given task. In this respect, it is very similar to COBOL. -----End Obligatory Humorous Quote------------------------------------------
