Managing disk groups and volumes in a Veritas Storage Foundation HA environment

This section describes how to perform the following activities:

While you set up an SFW HA environment, keep the following points in mind:

You must mount the volumes on the system where you will configure the Enterprise Vault service group.
When a disk group is initially created, it is imported on the node where it is created.
A disk group can be imported on one node only at a time.
To move a disk group from one node to another, unmount the volumes in the group, deport the group from its current node, import it to a new node, and mount the volumes.
