I've got an HP 740 with hp/ux 10.20 system running LVM.
I have an external scsi hd that used to be on a different HP 10.20 LVM
system that has data on it I need. I would like to add it without
losing the data.

SAM sees this disk as "unused". I am not a sysadmin and know just
enough to be dangerous (obviously, or I wouldn't be in this spot.)

I would really appreciate a little guidance here. I'm afraid that I
will wipe out the data if I take a wrong step. I don't have any other
system to use to extract this data.

The running HP system is a fresh install and is expendable.

look at vgimport(1m), you have to create the vg dir and mknod the group
file but as long as the disk has a good structure you should be able to
import the disk as a new volume group.
