Hey guys, wondering if this is possible to accomplish.
PowerHA SystemMirror7.1 active/passive cluster. Restored a clustered system in test and upgraded to the latest version of PowerHA. Things are working great. However in the interest of time during cut over to the new system, I was hoping to take a flash copy of the data lun (datavg) from the current production cluster and import that to the new system, however, I'm getting stuck removing hdisk1 on the restored system.
Steps to recreate on the new cluster:
Stop the cluster services on both nodes so datavg is varied off
on both nodes - success
on both nodes - success on node2(passive) fail on node1(active)
No matter what I try I can't remove the disk on node1, getting this error.
The PVID's are going to change with the flash copy, so my thought was to remove these from ODM on the new system and then drop that lun. Next, add the flashed lun and do:
Any suggestions?
