AIX - LVM - Import Volume Group

Using importvg command we can import the DATAVG to ServerB

First you should connect hdisk3, hdisk4, in ServerB then, run the
#cfgmgr (for hard disk detection)


Then check the PV’s installed or not using lspv command
#lspv (it will display the installed PV’s) if hdisk3, hdisk4 is available then PV’s are configured properly.


Then run the command importvg for import the DATAVG
#importvg –y DATAVG hdisk3 (VG information is added in ODM)
#importvg –y DATAVG hdisk4 (VG information is added in ODM)


NOTE:

If ServerB has VG with same name DATAVG, This case we can rename the importing VG DATAVG to other name,
#importvg –y NEWDATAVG hdisk3
#importvg –y NEWDATAVG hdisk4

Like this we can import.
After importing the DATAVG, we no need to Varryon DATAVG, automatically it will Varryon while importing.
