Hello managers,

One of my servers died this morning, and I need to move an extern disk
from that server to another server.

The disk 'rrz34' consist of one advfs partition /dev/rz34c on the dead
server.

What are the procedure to move this disk to another server?
My guess:
* shutdown and power down server
* connect extern scsi disk
* power on server
* show device - new device should be there
* boot server
* log in as root
* /dev/MAKEDEV arg (But what should the argument be?)
* mkfdmn /dev/rz??c users_domain
* mkfset users_domain users
* mount -t advfs users_domain#users /usr/users
* vrestore everything that should be on the disk

BUT: isn't it possible to avoid getting data from backup... Everything
should still be on the disk!!!

Regards
