THis has been done teice. The second time we even removed the FC drivers and rediscovered everything and for some reason, the system is still referencing the old SAN. EMC and I have no idea where the system is still findin the reference to the old SAN.
After the reboot the old hdiskpower drives come back and show the WW name for the old SAN. Bizarre.
Anywho. Is anyone aware of a script that will allow me to import the volume groups on a reboot that I can incorporate into the inittab?
I rekon I would need one that inititally knows the correct PVID and verifies that before the import.
Thanks for all the help and suggestions.

Hi everyone,
I wonder if I can canvas any opinions or thoughts (good or bad) on SAN attaching a SUN V880/490 to an EMC Clarion SAN?
At the moment the 880 is using 12 internal FC-AL disks as a db server and seems to be doing a pretty good job. It is not I/O, CPU or Memory constrained and the... (2 Replies)

vgrename
VGRENAME(8) System Manager's Manual VGRENAME(8)
NAME
vgrename - rename a volume group
SYNOPSIS
vgrename [-A|--autobackup {y|n}] [-d|--debug] [-h|-?|--help] [-t|--test] [-v|--verbose] OldVolumeGroup{Path|Name|UUID} NewVol-
umeGroup{Path|Name}
DESCRIPTION
vgrename renames an existing (see vgcreate(8)) volume group from OldVolumeGroup{Name|Path|UUID} to NewVolumeGroup{Name|Path}.
All the Volume Groups visible to a system need to have different names. Otherwise many LVM2 commands will refuse to run or give warning
messages.
This situation could arise when disks are moved between machines. If a disk is connected and it contains a Volume Group with the same name
as the Volume Group containing your root filesystem the machine might not even boot correctly. However, the two Volume Groups should have
different UUIDs (unless the disk was cloned) so you can rename one of the conflicting Volume Groups with vgrename.
OPTIONS
See lvm(8) for common options.
Examples
Renames existing volume group vg02 to my_volume_group:
vgrename /dev/vg02 /dev/my_volume_group
or
vgrename vg02 my_volume_group
Changes the name of the Volume Group with UUID
Zvlifi-Ep3t-e0Ng-U42h-o0ye-KHu1-nl7Ns4 to VolGroup00_tmp:
vgrename Zvlifi-Ep3t-e0Ng-U42h-o0ye-KHu1-nl7Ns4 VolGroup00_tmp
