I have 2 very large file systems on a disk in my local rx2660 (11i v3) and I need to ship this disk to be installed in its sister rx2660. The receiving site has very little UNIX experience.
Any step by step you might have would be greatly appreciated.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: moving a disk and its file system to new hardware
Could you post a bdf output of this filesystem?
The easiest is to create an instruction for your remote admin to import the volume group on the sister RX.
Regards,
Robert-Jan

Re: moving a disk and its file system to new hardware
That's a very basic outline of what I think needs to be done. Hopefully it will be of some help.

Solutioncat /tmp/mapfile.map
(and type over the data in this file on the new server (ore copy the data over some other way)
install the disk in the new server
ask the receving side to recreate the map file
let them create a new vg group file
(see previus replay)
insf -v to create the new hartware flies
vgimport -m /tmp/mapfile.map /dev/dsk/newhartware1 /dev/dsk/newhartware2
After that a vgchange -a y "new vg"
and the file systems are now mountable...

Re: moving a disk and its file system to new hardware
Scenario 1
System A :your Fs located
#bdf
#vgdisplay -v vgxx | grep "PV Name"
#umount
#vgchange -a n vgxx
#vgexport -s -m /tmp/vgxx.map
copy this map file to System B through CD/Tap etc
fbackup -f /dev/rmt/0m -i /tmp/vgxx.map
Physically detach the disk and connect to System B
System B
Physically attach the disks of vgxx
#frecover -f /dev/rmt/0m -i /tmp/vgxx.map -xv
#ioscan -fnC disk:confirm all disk are detected and claimed
#mkdir /dev/vgxx
#ll /dev/*/group : find out unused minor number
#mknod /dev/vgxx/group c 64 0xXX0000
#vgimport -s -m /tmp/vgxx.map vgxx
#vgchange -a y vgxx
#mkdir /mnt | create all mount point
#vgdisplay -v vgxx :confirm all PV/Lv
# mount /dev/vgxx/
#vi /etc/fstab : edit fstab
#bdf -v
Now verify your FS/ file
=================================================================
Scenario 2
take FS backup to tap by using tar/fbackup/cpio etc
copy to system B
