Sorry for the leaking details.
V240 and a Storedge 3310
solaris 8 , Vxvm 3.5
root disk encalsulated and mirrored, 7 other disks in another dg.

I want to move all these disks into another v240 and 3310.

Thanks again.

Having read your last reply I have a few further questions.

1. You mean volumes not disk, don't you? Or is it 7 LUNs?
2. Are these volumes mirrored in veritas?
3. Do you mean to move the volumes physically or logical? (ie is it the disks in the array or is it the volumes or is it that you want to move the existing 3310 to another 240?
3(a) or is it just a new root disk any you want to import the existing volumes on the 3310 to the new root disk?

I guess what it really comes down to is, are you trying to clone the existing setup?

StorEdge 3310 JBOD without RAID Controller or a RAID Controller based one ?

there are 7 more disks. 3 are mirrored with a hot spare.
it is more less a clone. i can't build at the site these disks will reside. i will physically move all the disks from the V240 and 3310 and fly the disk half way around the world, and install the disks in a new v240 and 3310.

no hardware raid.

In a sentence, that probably won't work.

I will reply in a little while in more detail with a possible alternative strategy for you to explore. One more question that come to mind now though is, is the 3310 in single or dual bus configuration? If you are unsure about this, then did you need to edit sd.conf when installing?

it is in a dual bus config. I haven't installed yet. This is in the planning stage of how to do a new install of os,db,app on a server that is currently in use. i look forward to your reply. Smilie
