+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #2098182 +++

Description of problem:

It should be possible to do failover of a VG (using LVM-activate) when the VG is missing devices. Currently, the vgchange command to change the system ID requires all the PVs to be present. This will likely require the majority of PVs to be present.

This request comes from bug 2066156.

A commit for this exists in devel branch
https://sourceware.org/git/?p=lvm2.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/dev-dct-vgchange-majority

but it's not yet clear that it would be used, e.g. by LVM-activate.
