Importing a disk group
Importing a disk group enables access by the system to a disk group. To move a
disk group from one system to another, first disable (deport) the disk group on
the original system, and then move the disk between systems and enable (import)
the disk group.
By default, VxVM recovers and starts any disabled volumes in the disk group when
you import the disk group. To prevent VxVM from recovering the disabled volumes,
turn off the automatic recovery feature. For example, after importing the disk
group, you may want to do some maintenance before starting the volumes.
See “Setting the automatic recovery of volumes” on page 224.
