+===== Disk cloning RHEL9 =====
+For RHEL9 and higher
+After booting on a clone, the server will start in single mode user. No pv or vg is visible
+You have to update the file /etc/lvm/devices/system.devices to match the disk WWN
+<cli prompt='#'>

+Also update the multipathing binding if you want to change order

+</cli>
+After updating all files, import VG devices.
+  * to import all pv, vg (will only add the multipath map): vgimportdevices -a
+  * If only some of the disks contain PV’s (for each to be used device) to be used by this system run: lvmdevices --adddev [device name]
+  For example: lvmdevices --adddev /dev/mapper/mpathc
+Now reboot. Everything is OK
+  * By default in a newly installed RHEL9 system LVM2 will use the /etc/lvm/devices/system.devices file to identify which disks are PV’s for this install. The /etc/lvm/lvm.conf filters are ignored. As the imported PV’s are not in this file LVM will not work with them.
+  * If a RHEL8 system is upgraded to RHEL9 the /etc/lvm/devices/system.devices file does not exists LVM will run as if use_devicesfile = 0 is set and use the /etc/lvm/lvm.conf filters.
+  * If the /etc/lvm/lvm.conf use_devicesfile parameter is set to 0. The /etc/lvm/devices/system.devices will not be used and the /etc/lvm/lvm.conf filters are used.
+===== LVM import same VGname =====
+Here as you can see **Not using device**, it's a duplicate VG, so not possible to import the VG
