    I read the log file that you provided. It seems that the schematic you are using is not properly matched with the layout, that's why it is saying that the devices on schematic are not matched with the devices on layout and vice versa.

    I recommend you to use the following procedure:

    Option 1:

    Open your schematic, select Launch --> Layout XL --> press OK.

    In the new layout window select

    1. Connectivity --> Generate --> All from soruce

    2. Connectivity --> Nets --> Show/Hide selected incomplete nets

    Now make your layout and run the LVS

    Option 2:

    If you already did this please check following points in the Run LVS window:

    1. In the Schematic Design source section- "Library" should contain the name of the library in which your schematic is located

    "Cell" Should have the name of the cell (Schematic) in which you have designed the schematic.

    "View" Should have the text "Schematic"

    2. In the Layout Design source section- "Library" should contain the name of the library where the layout is located

    "Cell" Should contain the name of the cell (Layout) in which you have designed your layout.

    "View" Should have the text "Layout".

    This should solve your problem.

    Note: Before running LVS make sure that the options "Technology" should contain the same technology that u have used to design the schematic and the Extracted rule and Design rules have the correct destinations for the LVS to run properly.
