If the LUNs don't exist on the target server, you're stymied. If this is a SAN LUN, get your SAN admin to zone the LUNs to the 2nd machine. Once you have that accomplished, deport the disk group from 'A' (you'll need to umount the volumes) and then on 'B' do a vxdg import of the disk group (by name). You'll need to start the volumes with vxvol start (use the -b option and/or a & at the end of the command so you don't have to wait). While that's cookingCopy the relevant portions of /etc/vfstab from 'A' and merge them with the /etc/vfstab on 'B'. Go create the mountpoints yourself: nothing is going to do it for you (much less with the ownership and permissions you want). I'd use mountall, it will fsck -y all your filesystems; just ignore the complaints you'll get about already-mounted stuff (like /). Once you are happy, vxdg upgrade will bring your diskgroups up to the current format - and you can't go backward afterwards.
