Existing PVLinks

[Richard Pugh_2]

Sanjiv,
Thanks for your help.
Would it make more sense just to remove pvlinks that I am going to change, rather than exporting the VG?

Unless you're also re-zoning to another WWN on the storage array, moving HBA connections around the switch should not affect the hardware path of the luns. It should be safe to deactivate the volume groups, move the cable, and re-activate.

Jordan Bean,
Thanks for your input bu I have done a FC Port Change before on an HP server and they do change hardware paths since the McData Port Fabric address changes from port to port.

That's bad news to me since I'll have to do this some day... Damn. I thought switches were transparent.
