Please share with us exact steps that you followed on Server A to split and deport the dg.
Did you then make the imported dg on Server B a cluster resource?
This does not sound right - the split off dg is only meant to be imported for a short period of time on another server - like for backups or to run reports, batch jobs, etc.
Please show us output of this command on Server A and B:
vxdg -o alldgs list
Hi Marianne,
yes I made it a cluster resource on Server B.
The steps i followed to split it was the following.
On server A:
1 - add an additional mirror plex with vxsnap addmir
2 - wait for sync to complete
3 - create the snapshot with vxsnap make source=avol/newvol=bvol/nmirror=1
4 - split and finally deport : vxdg split adg bdg bvol ; bxdg deport bdg
On server B:
import the dg with vxdg -s import bdg (Server B is actually a cluster made up of 2 nodes)
Output of the command vxdisk -o alldgs list
on Server A:

In this case i want to import back on Server A moz_dg-snp
What you've post above and the error doesn't match up
VxVM vxdg ERROR V-5-1-10978 Disk group sa_com_dgsp: import failed:
Please post everything you're doing from start to finish as attachment.
Dear Riaan, please you can consider it as it is.
i have two disk groups with the same symptoms : sa_com_dgsp and moz_dg-snp.
i just post the latter one. sa_com_dgsp has been also constructed the same way as moz_dg-snp and is having same issues when trying to import it back.
regards.
