Re: move SAN disks to move LPAR

I have never tried that. We typically use cloning to move our systems over to new hardware. What OS version are you running? 5.2 is supposed to have all device support installed from the get go so any new hardware related filesets that you might need should already be there. One thing I would wonder about is how it handles a different CPU ID and/or device locations. When we clone our systems we use a modified bosinst.data file with recover_devices set to NO. I'm not sure if you would have to do anything similar to this with what you are trying to do. If you don't mind can you post something telling us what you ended up doing.

Hi *,

I've a p630 LPAR with all disks (rootvg, xxvg, ...)
located in a SAN (no internal disks!).
I want to "move" that LPAR to a p650 by changing the
WWN zoning, i.e. by removing the p630's FC adapters
from and assigning the p650's FC adapters to the
corresponding LUNs.

Has anyone done that with success (or no success)?

Thx and Reagrds,
Dieter
