VxVM Move a disk group to another system

Move a disk group to another system

1. Unmount and stop all volumes in the disk group on the first system:

# umount /mntdir
# vxvol -g stopall

2. Deport (disable all local access to) the disk group to be moved with this command:

# vxdg deport

3. Import (enable local access to) the disk group and its disks from the second system with:

# vxdg import

4. After the disk group is imported, start all volumes in the disk group with this command:

# vxrecover -g -sb

The options here indicate that VERITAS Volume Manager will start all the disabled volumes (-s) in the background (-b).
