Re: VG info

mind you Im sure there is no need to since Ive read again your mail, if the disk comes from another system it will be cleaned when you will have affected this disk to a (or a new) volume group

Set the scsi id, attach the disk, power up your server, run ioscan -funC disk and use pvcreate. This will help you blow away the data. Funny ain't you!

pvcreate -f /dev/rdsk/c?t?d?

Then add it to a new volume group and create volumes on it.
