F/W conversion to FIBRE

I want to know the best way to upgrade F/W on an existing system loaded with
data. I will be adding a Fibre Hub so the device addressing will change. (Is
this true?)

How can this be done? Can vgexport & vgimport help in this scenario? How can
this be done if we have Mirroring & Raid on some of the systems.

Re: F/W conversion to FIBRE

Hello:

When you add new hardware to your server, old hardware patha and device names
remain unchanged. So, no problem.

Use vgexport and vgimport when hardware path and device name has changed, or
you have moved disks.

Every way, save vg configuration with vgcfgbackup and vg maps with vgexport -p
mapfile. See man pages for this commands.

Regards.
