how to create AdvFS domains in new install from old disks

Hi,

I have just installed 5.1A (PK4) on a 1000A machine that was previously
running 4.0E. I have the disks from 4.0E still in the cabinet and there is
data still on those (in AdvFS domains) that I want to make available in
5.1A. I haven't changed the disklabels for any of the disks. Can I create
AdvFS domains using the same names and same partitions just using the new
device names?

For instance:

on the old (4.0E) system:

        showfdmn -k home_domain

                       Id Date Created LogPgs Domain Name
        3523e6b8.0009dfad Thu Apr 2 14:27:52 1998 512 home_domain

          Vol 1K-Blks Free % Used Cmode Rblks Wblks Vol Name
           1L 3110877 2347504 25% on 256 256 /dev/rz9d


I believe that /dev/rz9 (on 4.0E) is now /dev/disk/dsk4 in 5.1A.


How do I make home_domain in 5.1A and not lose any data? Do I just 'mkfdmn
/dev/disk/dsk4d home_domain'? What about AdvFS versions? Do I need to do
anything else to get the AdvFS domains to v.4?

Thanks alot!
Andy
