clone disk group
Greetings, I need to migrate disk groups between hosts. The current aging server runs vxvm 5.x on solaris 10. The proposed work loads are to be taken on by a combination of Solaris 11 and Solaris 10...

Thanks Marianne,
Looks like this is feature vxvm had from very early days. Thanks again. Some doubts i have :
- Can the mirrored volume be created on new san disks ? any considerationto to make a note of ?
- since it's a migration activity, can the DG and the volumes be renamed and upgraded to a higher version of DG version on 7.1, These DGs are coming from a 5.x version.

- Yes you can mirror to new san, old san, where ever you can present the additional luns from
- When you split the DG you give it a new name. When you move it across you can perform the diskgroup version upgrade but you'll not be able to move it back if you do that (which you should not need to do)
