Hi R.K.
As you said

5. You need to "transfer" it to the /etc/lvmconf directory on the new system before you issue this command:
# vgimport -v /dev/vgxx /dev/dsk/cxtydz

What do you mean by "transfer to /etc/lvmconf" directory on the new system?

Also can I use following command

# vgimport -v /dev/vg01 /dev/dsk/c2t1d0 /dev/dsk/c3t2d0

As I want to make these two disks (/dev/dsk/c2t1d0 & /dev/dsk/c3t2d0) a part of volume group vg01.

Thank You!

>>You need to "transfer" it to the /etc/lvmconf directory

Since we are not using mapfile.....so no need to transfer the file from tape to running server.

Yes..use below command if both these disks were in same VG in down server.
# vgimport -v /dev/vg01 /dev/dsk/c2t1d0 /dev/dsk/c3t2d0

Solution is easy.

You did

# mount /dev/dsk/c3t2d0 /newdisk

but the disk is a bootable disk, all the data is in partition 2, so you need to mount the "s2" part:

# mount /dev/dsk/c3t2d0s2 /newdisk

[Torsten.]

Sorry, the command was nonsense.

You need to vgimport both "s2" devices, then mount the lvols.
