I'm not sure you have an easy way to do this. The problem as I see it is the LVM'd volumes. You have a couple of ways of doing this, but by far the easiest way is to mount the new LUN on the server and copy the data. It will involve the least downtime and ensures that your Comstar targets are already setup correctly. _________________________ This email was transferred using an evaluation version of AXIGEN Mail Server. _______________________________________________ storage-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/storage-discuss
