You can use the importvg command
to import a volume group or logical volume storage pool.
To import a volume group or logical volume storage pool, complete
the following steps:
- Run the following command to import the volume group or logical
volume storage pool:
importvg -vg volumeGroupName physicalVolumeName
Where:- volumeGroupName is an optional parameter that specifies
the name to use for the imported volume group.
- physicalVolumeName is the name of a physical volume
that belongs to the imported volume group.
- If you know that the imported volume group or
logical volume storage pool is not the parent of the virtual media repository
or any file storage pools, then you are finished importing the volume group
or logical volume storage pool and do not need to complete the remaining steps.
- If you know that imported volume group or logical
volume storage pool is the parent of the virtual media repository or any file
storage pools, or if you are unsure, then complete the following steps:
- Run the mount all command to mount any file
systems contained in the imported volume group or logical volume storage pool. This command might return errors for file systems that are already mounted.
- If you are importing a volume group or logical volume storage
to the same system from which you exported it, run the cfgdev to
reconfigure any devices that were unconfigured when you exported the volume
group or logical volume storage pool.
