Moving SVM volumes to a new server



Howdy.

I'm wondering if anyone has done this before? I've got a few arrays
SAN-attached, and I'll be moving them to a new file server. I'm using
SVM on most LUNs, and I'm not seeing a nice way to accomplish this.

Copying /etv/lvm and /kernel/drv/md.conf would work, except for the
fact that the new server won't have the state databse.

Changing device paths shouldn't be a problem, SVM (metadevfsadm)
handles this nicely. So I suppose my question is really: how does one
"copy" a state database and move it to another server?

Many Thanks,
-Charlie
