# vxdg -tC -n newdg import diskgroup
The -t option indicates a temporary import name, and the -C option
clears import locks. The -n option specifies an alternate name for the
rootdg being imported so that it does not conflict with the existing rootdg.
diskgroup is the disk group ID of the disk group being imported (for
example, 774226267.1025.tweety).
If a reboot or crash occurs at this point, the temporarily imported disk
group becomes unimported and requires a reimport.
Step 3. After the necessary work has been done on the imported rootdg, deport it
back to its original host with this command:
# vxdg -h hostname deport diskgroup
where hostname is the name of the system whose rootdg is being
returned (the system name can be confirmed with the command uname
-n).
This command removes the imported rootdg from the importing host and
returns locks to its original host. The original host then automatically
imports its rootdg on the next reboot.
