Hi,
FYI. The easiest way to fix this problem in the future is to
use:
alt_disk_install -v <new volume group name> <disk>
Regards,
Joseph

Bill,
I think that did the trick. Thanks for the tip!! The importvg looks
like it does a lot of stuff, adding stuff to /etc/filesystems, etc. The
redefinevg was just what i needed, and seemed to work fine. Now, should
i run a synclvodm just to be safe?
thanks,
ray
