Hello all,
I need to move a SAN attached Red Hat server from one Data Center to another. The server is currently attached an EMC Clariion Storage device that's not moving. The data from the EMC at the current location will be copied to another EMC Clariion array in the new Data Center via SRDF.

The process I would like to take is:
umount all file systems
vgchange -a n <volume_group>
vgexport <volume_group>

Once the server is in the new Data Center attached to the new Clariion:

vgscan
vgimport <volume_group>
vgchange -a n <volume_group>


I would like to know if this process will work. If not, is there an alternate method that would work, other the backup/restore?

Thanks.

Metod really sounds good..but as u know taking backup is always a smart thing .

we used to do something like this before, using EMCs
mirrorview. i had no problems with it when we break the mirorr
and mount the disks on the remote site.

but again, as mether mentioned, do a backup.
and make sure that backup is reliable.
