    Hello
    thank you for your answer.
    question continued:
    if these old disks previously known as
    hdisk2 and hdisk3
    are also know (because I have also two disks for my new rootvg)
    should I type
    importvg -y uservg -P hdisk2
    importvg -y uservg -P hdisk3
    meaning:
    should the vg_name uservg of these commands be the SAME as the old configuration
    how the new system knows that there is two disks in the uservg
    if I type only one time
    importvg -y uservg -P hdisk2

    will the system know about the LV in these two disks? how?
    Thank you
    Gerard Mamou
