script for vgexport map files and vgimport map files

[jose da silva]

Hi
I need assistance to do the vgimport from the results output of vgexport script. Taking in mind that some of the vgs have unique names " testvg, etc" and others the default way " vg01, etc". I managed to create a vgexport script file which writes the output to /tmp/dev " hope it is correct" but I am having problems in creating a vgimport script to to use the previous output results from the vgexport.

here is my vgexport:-

#!/usr/bin/ksh
mkdir /tmp/dev/
VGS=`vgdisplay|awk '/VG Name/ {print $3}'`
for VG in ${VGS}
do
vgexport -v -p -s -m /tmp${VG}.map ${VG}
done

Hi:

First, change you 'vgexport' to create files thusly so we can easily glob for them:

# vgexport -v -p -s -m /tmp/${VG}.map ${VG}

Now you can do:

# for VG in $(ls /tmp/vg*.map)
> do
> BASE=$(basename ${VG} .map)
> vgimport -v -s -m ${VG} /dev/${BASE}
> done

...I suggest you copy-and-paste the above for preserving the whitespace that is hard to see :-)

Regards!
