All,
We are physically moving a disk volume from a 760 to an 840 tonight. We're resonably confident about bringing up the 840 with the moved disks on it. The volume will come up as a foreign volume (it won't need to be renamed) and we'll just need to do a "vol online" command for it. It's not a root volume.
However, the book says to check "your hardware guide" for instructions on removing the disks from the 760. We can't find this anywhere. Our current plan is to remove references to the volume in the various /vol0/etc files; shut down the 760, power it and it's shelves off. Remove the disks and just power everything back on again.
Is it that simple?
