12156   How to move a SPARC Storage Array from one host to another   12 Jan 2000

Description Top
System "A" has array installed, customer wants to move to another
system with different host name, System "B".

System "A"'s host name is Moe

System "B"'s host name is Larry


On system "A", before halting the system and removing the array,
run the command:

#vxdctl init larry

This will change the hostid on all the imported drives to larry.

Halt System "A" and remove SSA hardware.


On system "B", install SSA software with all patches, install
array hardware and attach SSA.

Boot system "B" witha boot -r.


Run the following command:


   #vxiod set 10

   #vxconfigd -d

   #vxdctl init larry

   #rm /etc/vx/reconfig.d/state.d/install-db

   #vxdctl enable

It should at this point start vxconfigd, import the
rootdg configuration volumes, plusany other groups
that were owned by this host.

The volumes probably will not be started.  They can
be started with the gui or vxvol -g groupname startall.

You must edit the vfstab file to add and mounted volumes.
