Re: vgimport
You didnt mention the version of OS, ans should differ for 11.11 and 11.31.
For 11.11, it has to be mentioned all paths.

Re: vgimport
Two choices:
You can use -s option available in vgexport to search all required disk devives for you.
e.g.
vgexport -vpsm /tmp/map.file vgname
or
You can specify all the disks those are part of vg
vgexport -vpm /tmp/map.file vgname disk lists
on all other cluster nodes:
# mkdir /dev/vgname
#mknod /dev/vgoracle/group c 64 0x0x0000
x= vg no.....check in /dev dir
#vgimport -s -m /tmp/map.file /dev/vgname

Re: vgimport
following are the steps
first take the minor no from the node on which you are doing vgexport for that vg
1) ll /dev/
2)on primary node run the vgexport -v -s -p -m /tmp/
3) on another cluster node
run the following command
#ll /dev/vgname/group
take the major and minor no
#vgexport /dev/vgname
#mkdir /dev/vgname
#mknod /dev/vgname/group c
#vgimport -s -m /tmp/vgname.map /dev/vgpname

Re: vgimport
Yes if you have created the map file without -s option you need to specify only the disk device name /dev/dsk/cxtxdx.
#vgimport -m /
if you had exported the mapfiles
with -s option then no need to specify the disk device file name as -s would create map file with vgid's.
Best Regards,
Prashanth

Re: vgimport
vgexport -p -s -m /tm/vgXX.map /dev/vgXX
then scp the map file to the other server.
then
create the vg dir , ex.
mkdir /dev/vgXX
then create the group file, and then
vgimport -s -m /tmp/vgXX.map /dev/vgXX
This is all in the serviceguard manuals that can be viewed and downloaded from ttp://docs.hp.com

Re: vgimport
You want to use the -s on the vgexport so that it puts the vgid in the mapfile. then the vgimport will get the vgid and scan the disks looking for that vgid on the other host. the vgid is stored in the vgra is what will let each server know which disks belong to which volume groups.

Re: vgimport
ioscan -fuC disk | wc -l
will give you a close figure. I guess if it has to scan a lot if disks that could take a while.

Re: vgimport
There would be some storage specific commands to find out the device name of the disks in the second node which corresponds the disk device name in the first node.
And then use -f option with disk file name while vgimport in the second node instead of using -s option
It will not scan all your disks and so it will be faster.

Re: vgimport
Its my understanding that the partner needs to have the list of devices as seen by the partner not the primary.
