I'm soon moving all local disk to a SAN device. I want to be able
to varyonvg for any VG that's on the SAN. My end goal is to have
my boxes and LPARs configured such that any box can run any application.
To do this I need to importvg for all pdisks/hdisks/vpaths while
keeping the VG varyed off. I know that I can only varyonvg for
a single host unless the VG is one of the Current VGs (none of
these are). Then I want to choose which VG to varyonvg, loop
through and mount the filesystems, then start the application.



These are just typed, never tested:

------ importvg.sh

#!/bin/sh
cfgmgr # not sure this is a good idea, any way to limit to only disks?
lspv | awk '{print $1}' | while read disk
do
importvg $disk
done

------- varyonvg.sh
#!/bin/sh
vg=$1
varyonvg $vg
lsvg -p $vg | tail +3 | awk '!/^N.A$/ {print $NF}' | while read fs
do
mount $fs
done

importvg.sh: you only need to run importvg once per VG, select one disk
(any disk will do) from the VG and run 'importvg -y <vgname> <disk>'.
