CVM group import after HW storage replication (CA EVA)

Hi!

I've got SG A.11.17 cluster named ORACL1 with two integrity rx4640 servers running hp-ux 11.23 ia64, accessing cfs/cvm volumes (Veritas SF 4.1) on EVA 6000 .
CA EVA replicates storage groups to failover location where configuration is the same, except for there is only one rx4646 node in cluster named ORACL2 (also SG, CVM/CFS, ...) and of course CVM package is down (storage is replicating).

To simulate disaster I:
1.) delete storage groups on primary loc.
and
create mount points on secondary loc.
2.) then 'ioscan' and 'vxdisk scandisks new'
on secondary and thats's it

The problem is in case od disaster i cannot
deport CVM groups on primary location.
So whenever i import a group on secondary
location (vxdg -C -s import ), the
system reboots. Afterwards everything is
ok. I tried 'vxdisk clearimport' on
replicated LUNs, but didn't help.

Please, is there a way to avoid rebooting
or at least just reboot once -
vxdg import ... ???

Thanks,

Borut
