Re: Reg SAN -switch port change
If the disk array is being moved to a different SAN port or SAN switch, or the switch domain ID is changing then the hardware paths and device files will change and you will need to vgexport/vgimport.
If its just the server thats moving to a different SAN port, you should be fine to unmount the filesystems/deactivate the VG, move the server then re-activate/re-mount.
