HP-UX

Hi All,
I'm trying to move a disk array installed to one server has HPUX 11.0 to another server with the same OS version.
But how can I make the other server recognize the disks with all the volume groups and logical volumes I have created.
Please advice.

Thank you.

Until a qualified HP Guru answers, take a look at this post - then check out the man page on the vgimport command - it may be what you are looking for.

The only thing that I would add to the info in the other thread is to do a vgexport on the first system, move the map file over, and use the map file during the vgimport.

In that first thread, the poster had a disaster and no map file was possible. Here you can easily create the map file so go ahead with that.

The vgexport also removes the vg info from the vg database on the first system. That frees up the vg so it can be used again.

The vgexport also has that -p flag for preview. I like to use "-p -v" first just to be sure that everything looks ok.

Thanks for your help in that.
