I asked for help moving a filesystem from one cluster member to another. The original
message is below.
Thanks to:
Alan (_at_ DEC)

for their quick replies.
It turned out that I hadn't started the volumes after I imported the disk group... Doh!
For posterity sake, here is the procedure I ended up with:
On Node A:
# umount <filesystem>
# voldg deport <disk group name>
On Node B:
# voldg import <disk group name>
# volume -g <disk group name> startall
# mount <filesystem>
This worked because this filesystem had been moved back and forth between these systems
before and the directory structure in /etc/fdmns was intact. If this was the first time
to move the filesystem I would have had to use "advscan" to find the domain and create
the directory structure.
It's been said before, but what a great list!
