All-
The root disk on my personal workstation failed this weekend. Because I
had been meaning to re-install and fix up some partition sizes anyway, I
decided to not do a full recover, and just recover the OS-bits that I need.
I've now got a new RZ26N to replace the RZ26L, I've installed 4.0d (I was
running 4.0b + patch set #6 before), and most of the basic configuration is
done.
The problem I've run into is with regard to the two external drives I have
hooked to my workstation, that "survived". One of them was completely devoted
to LSM, and the other had one large partition devoted to LSM. Both volumes
were previously in my rootdg.
If I were forced to, I could recover nearly everything on those two drives
from backups ("nearly" only because there was some "non-critical" stuff that I
was skipping on purpose because it was very large and changed on a weekly
basis). I'm really hoping I won't have to resort to recovering from backup,
though.
I've set up LSM on my new workstation using a dummy partition on my new root
disk. What I really want to do is import the two disks and get access to all
the data that's on them, so I don't have to resort to recovering what I can.
I tried using the `voldiskadm' import option, but that only works for entire
disk groups, and I believe since both disks were members of the previous
installations rootdg, it wouldn't allow me to import them anyway.
Any LSM experts out there have any suggestions on how I can get these two
disks into my current LSM configuration without having to recover what I can
from backups?
