migrating iscsi luns in logical volumes

[Troy Knabe]

Thank you for the post.  That is what I am seeing in the documentation I have found as well.  My question about this is:  How does the new host know about the VGname to vgimport?  Shouldn't that be contained in some config files on the host, or is that information written to the lun meta data itself?

Thanks
-Troy

What is the best method of moving the luns to the new host and keeping the logical volumes?  Or is that even possible?
