mirror third root disk to be used in another server

[cokehpux]

Thank you - yes I have that pdf saved in my laptop saved already

a simple lvredue -m 0 or 1 with /dev/dsk/cxdxtx doesnt work as the (ghost) disk isnt available in server

used lvdisplay -v -k to know the key and used the key instead of diskname to lvreduce, then vgreduce etc

the  server in which we mirrored this root disk has many VGs  - but these VGs are not present in this newlybuilt  server. just one disk at the momet with just VG00

mirrored boot disk, along with ghost disks, caried with it the non existent VG info as well...I think I will export them all

===

the next barrier is

cable up some new storage to this newly built server.

configure VGs as per some other prod server

transfer data from that prod server

I guess I will create vgxx map files in that prod server - copy them to this newly built server and then copy the data.

..work in progress
