Moving a Disk Group

This procedure moves a disk group (and the Volume Manager objects in that disk group) from one system to another. This relocates the disk group's configuration to the new system.

To move a disk group from one machine to another

Unmount and stop all volumes in the disk group to be moved. (See Chapter 4 “Volume Tasks” for information on how to unmount and stop volumes.)
Follow the instructions in “Deporting a Disk Group” to deport the disk group to be moved to the other system.
Attach all of the physical disks in the disk group to the new system.
On the new system, follow the instructions in “Importing a Disk Group” to import the disk group.
Select the appropriate host machine node and choose Hosts > Scan Disks (Selected menu) to set up the newly attached disks on the system. This runs the disk setup commands appropriate for the operating system.
Follow the instructions in “Recovering Volumes in a Disk Group” to restart and recover all volumes in the disk group on the new system.
Notes:
The Volume Manager and the Storage Administrator (server) must be running on both systems.
