If vol1 on filerA is marked as "root" (use 'vol status' to determine this), then you can remove that shelf from filerA and put it on filerB. FilerB will boot this easily. Once that volume is on filerB, you can do a 'vol rename vol1 vol0' to rename the volume. Of course, this will change what your /etc/exports file will look like.
If vol1 is not marked as the root volume, you can still move the disks, but you'll need to boot off floppys and chose the 5 option and issue a 'vol options vol1 root' command. (Or something like that... I don't have a filer handy at the moment to verify)
Hope that helps.

I have a populated shelf of disks (one RAID group, one filesystem, one full shelf of 7 disks) that is vol1 on Filer A. I want to put it on Filer B, which currently has no disk. Can I do this without wiping the data on those disks, which I need? How do I get the boot and system files on it without destroying the existing volume and filesystem?
Until next time...
