vg01.mymap. The volume group will be removed
from the exporting system.
vgexport -m vg01.mymap /dev/vg01
Export the volume group /dev/vg01 and write the disk names into the file
vg01.outfile.
vgexport -v -f vg01.outfile /dev/vg01
Create a mapfile to be copied to other systems in a high availability cluster to build the volume group
information for the volume group, /dev/vg02. Note that the volume group is not removed from the
exporting system. The importing systems will create the volume group with the
vgimport command
using the
-s and -m options.
