    Hi,

    Here's the summary. See below for the original question.

    Marian Dragomir send me the following:

    To save a VxVM disk group configuration database:

    # vxprint -g diskgroup -hmQqr > backup-diskgroup

    This command saves the definition of the volumes, plexes, subdisks, and
    the disk group itself

    You can also use the command:

    # vxprint -g diskgroup -hmvpsQqr > backup-diskgroup

    This command saves the definition of the volumes, plexes, and subdisks
    only.

    To display the saved configuration information you must use:

    # vxprint -D - -rht < backup-diskgroup

    This command displays the entire disk group definition, with all its
    objects.

    Martynas Buozis did send me a very useful mail with several tips. The link
    to the original is:

    Tom Jones & Mike Jackson send me the link of the Disaster Recovery document
    on the Veritas site

    http://seer.support.veritas.com/docs/241528.htm

    Also thanks to Steve Rackham, Jagtar Ghuman, and Kevin Smith who send their
    way to do it, which were less extensive variations on Dragomir's method,

    Again, thanks to all, it helped me solving the problem. The
    diskconfiguration is saved, and I am happy

    Original Question :

    Hi,

    I need to save the current configuration under Veritas Volume Manager 3.2,
    as the system will be reinstalled. We probably don't need the
    configuration, but you never know. The diskgroups are still existing, so
    maybe we want to import/rebuild them on another system.
    I know this can be done with vxprint , writing the output to a file. But I
    cannot figure out which options to use.
    Can you help me out ??

    best regards,
