vgimport –m /tmp/jbod_map /dev/jbod /dev/dsk/c64t8d0
/dev/dsk/c64t9d0

15. Activate the volume groups using vgchange. The proper usage would be

For example:

vgexport –a y /dev/jbod

restart I/O. For example:

mount /mnt/jbod

preceding steps do not “clean up” the results from ioscan. When viewing the
output of ioscan (see the following example), notice that the original entry is
still there, but now has a status of NO_HW.

Example

18. To remove the original (outdated) entry, the command rmsf (remove special

rmsf –a –v /dev/dsk/c65t8d0
