SUMMARY: Veritas 3.5 and Solaris

Thanks to all that responded. The answer came from Verities.

First you have to Install the temp DGSJ license you can get this from Veritas.
They will give you a 30 day temp key.


2. Break the log plex on c1t1d0:

# vxplex -g rootdg -o rm dis bk01-03
# vxplex -g rootdg -o rm dis db01-03
# vxplex -g rootdg -o rm dis db03-03
# vxplex -g rootdg -o rm dis db05-03
# vxplex -g rootdg -o rm dis db06-03
# vxplex -g rootdg -o rm dis db08-03

3.  Move volumes to another disk group:
# vxdg split rootdg <newdg> backup1
# vxdg move rootdg <newdg> backup3
# vxdg move rootdg <newdg> bk01
# vxdg move rootdg <newdg> db01
# vxdg move rootdg <newdg> db03
# vxdg move rootdg <newdg> db05
# vxdg move rootdg <newdg> db06
# vxdg move rootdg <newdg> db08
# vxdg move rootdg <newdg> d01
# vxdg move rootdg <newdg> d02
# vxdg move rootdg <newdg> d03
# vxdg move rootdg <newdg> d04

4. Start all volumes in the new disk group:
# vxvol -g <new dg> startall

5. Verify with vxprint -g rootdg and vxprint -g <new dg> -ht

Thanks again.

I am at a site where all of my clients disks were installed in rootdg on a
Solaris box. We want to rebuild the box but not loose the data that is out on
the array. From what I can see we can use the vxdiskadm to deport the disk
group but I do not believe that will work on rootdg.

Does anyone know how I can move the volumes to a new dg that way I can deport
them?

Thanks in advance.
