Export Import VG Hpux

Halo all,

1)when we have to remove our vg we use vgexport to have initial configuration to reimport vg later.

in 1st case:- umount all the LV of this VG, then deactivate and export it:

# umount /dev/vg01/lvol1

# umount /dev/vg01/lvol2

...

# vgchange -a n vg01

# vgexport vg01

2)when we have to configure same vg with same configuration on another node.

in 2nd case:- just create a map file and import it on another node:

from one node:-

# umount /dev/vgXX/lvolXX

# vgchange -a n /dev/vgXX

# vgexport -v -p -s -m /tmp/vgXX.map vgXX

-p : tanpa merubah /etc/lvmtab

-s : Sharable option

-v : verbose

-m : map filenya

# ftp the /tmp/vgxx.map to second node

# vgchange -a y /dev/vgXX

# mount -F Vxfs /dev/vgXX /Mountpoint_name

on second node:-

# mknod /dev/vgXX/group c 64 0xXX0000 ==>> create nod as same on node one

# vgimport -s -m /tmp/vgXX.map vgXX
