(HP-UX 11.11) on 4440. There is a SAN connected to the BOX which has all the Apps/DB. I have a snapshot of /etc/lvmtab, fstab, netstat -rn, netstat -in,BDF. now if i install a new OS and then configure just the VG00 and then attach the SAN and then do a vgscan and create the filesystems and lvol's will i be back to business? Please advise<BR /><BR />Thanks<BR /><BR />brian Fri, 16 Feb 2007 10:12:07 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-hp-ux/rebuilding-machine/m-p/3946157#M289561 brian_31 2007-02-16T10:12:07Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-hp-ux/rebuilding-machine/m-p/3946158#M289562 Brian,<BR />yes, that is pretty much it.
