volume group migration

[Rommel T. Misa_2]

Hello all.

I have an rp7440 running HP-UX 11.11 and I plan to purchase an rx7640 to migrate my applications. Both will be connected to my EMC storage via the same SAN.

Can I import my rp7440 volume groups to my new rx7640?

Please advise.

THANKS!
ROMMEL

Yes you can. And the data should of course be binary compatible. Your executables of course will need swapping for IA64 binaries

you can export and import to rx7640, is it running hp-ux 11.31?
first, in rp7440 run hp-ux 11.11, check the disk layout version:
# fstyp -v /dev/vgxx/lvxx
hp-ux 11.11 support up to version 4, and hp-ux 11.31 support version 4 to 7. so if disk layout in rp7440 is 4, you can mount these disk to rx7640, but if not, you must upgrade disk layout at rp7440:
# vxupgrade -n 4 /mount_point
