I'm trying to restore a VM with RHEL 7, it has 2 HDD.
The problem is with the first HDD (sda), when I tried to restore there is always one or more active volumes and the restore stop, using the answer [n] (picture attached) with no possibility to write [y].
The second HDD restores ok (sdb).
I tried to use clonezilla-live-20140915-trusty-amd64 and clonezilla-live-2.6.7-28-amd64 versión without success.
I recorded a video to show how the proccess was doing.
Are you sure there is no any volume group rhel existing in the same machine?
Please run the following commands after booting Clonezilla live and enter command line prompt:
1. pvscan
2. vgscan
3. lvscan
Please post the results of 1-3.
BTW, you can also give testing Clonezilla live 2.7.0-5 a try.
//NOTE// Backup important data before you use Clonezilla live. Just in case.

Thanks for the quick answer!
It could be that the image attached and the video recorded were have done after a few attemps to restore.
So I decided to do a fresh start.
I'm restoring from a VM into to another VM, so i delete the HDDs, configure new ones and start again.
I have taken your advise and try the 2.7.0-5 version with the same result :(, restore the sda1 only, "skip" the LVM group and the sdb1 copy complete (I recorded another video with all the steps, https://transfer.pcloud.com/download.html?code=5ZF36pXZuy8f88wlQ44Z9zXwZoW7qn932UDRfOM7BrdQkg7baQH3X&label=Transfer%20-%20files%20sent%20%28to%20sender%29#).
After that, i ran the commands (image attached).
The LVM you have is more complicated than I have here. Since I do not have RHEL8, so I tried CentOS 8 here. It just uses a partition for LVM.
How did you install RHEL 8? Can you provide files in the image, including:
sda-pt.parted.compact
sda-pt.sf
lvm_*

I don't know how the RHEL was installed, it was installed by my client and im just migrating from a cloud provider to another cloud provider, anyway i will try to ask them how was intalled.
I know that RHEL is RHEL 7 (attached -- rhel_7).
Instead of post those png files, please email those plain text files to me (steven at clonezilla org), and you can zip them as a file.
It would be easer for me to process and create a similar environment here then try to reproduce this issue.
Thanks.

Please give the latest testing Clonezilla live 2.7.0-9 or 20201029-groovy a try: https://clonezilla.org/downloads.php
This issue should have been fixed.

Hi Steven,
I don't know how the RHEL was installed, it was installed by my client and im just migrating from a cloud provider to another cloud provider, anyway i will try to ask them how was intalled.
I know that RHEL is RHEL 7 (attached -- rhel_7).
I attached the screen captures with every file.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Steven,
I wrote you an email from my business account (evc_itencore_es), did you received it?
Regards
No, and I can not find any in my spam folder.
Or you can post the URL here so that I can download?
Steven
I attached here.
OK, I will find some time to check them. Thanks.
Steven
