[HPADM] VG disk "move" to an existing VG

Admins,

Is it possible to move an existing disk (vg01), into another existing VG
(vg02), while maintaining the data and LV's on it?

I thought I could simply vgexport vg01 (actually a Nike RAID LUN) ,
then vgimport it into an existing vg02 (the other LUN in the Nike).
They are 2 seperate VG's currently, and I want to put them in the same VG
so I can extend the full LV/filesystem on the first, to use the
remaining space on the second LUN. However, vgimport wont let me
import into an existing VG. I am NOT using PVG's (physical vol
grps), but I noticed that vgextend has a -g option that can add the disk
into an existing PVG.

 Can I do this without having to restore the data from tape (i.e like
vgimport could by preserving the LV's)?

Thx,
Dave
