Hello,

Thanks and appreciate you response.

Actually, i am very new to this platform and someone told me to do this task

From Node1

1) create a VG with 1 or more LV
2) create a file system on this vg.
3) varyoff vg1
4) exportvg hdisk31

Now from node1
1) importvg hdisk5
2) varyonvg vg1

As disk is shared among node1 and node2.

I am unable to do that.

For systems which don't have shared disk. I have to do below things

From Node1,
1) use dd to copy whole image ( ~10G) of hdisk31
2) restore on node3 using dd of same size disk.
3) Now, importvg hdisk?
4) Now, ensure vg and lv is available.
5) now, mount file system

am i missing any thing.

We don't have any backup thing. we want to back of dd image only.

Thank in advance.

NAME

       gnome-disk-image-mounter - Attach and mount disk images

SYNOPSIS

       gnome-disk-image-mounter [--writable] [URI...]

DESCRIPTION

       gnome-disk-image-mounter can be used to set up disk images. Both regular files and GVfs URIs (such as smb://filer/media/file.iso) can be
       used in the URI parameter. If no URIs are given and a window server is running, a graphical file chooser will be presented.

       Note that gnome-disk-image-mounter will not mount filesystems or unlock encrypted volumes in the disk image - this responsibility is left
       to the automounter in GNOME Shell to ensure that the same interactions happen as if the disk image was a regular physical device or disc.

       By default the disk images are attached read-only, use the option --writable to change this.

RETURN VALUE

       gnome-disk-image-mounter returns 0 on success and non-zero on failure.
