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:

On Server B
