To deport a disk group on the first node

1. If VEA is not already running, open Veritas Enterprise Administrator from the Apps menu on the Start screen.

   If the Storage Foundation Assistant automatically opens, close it.

2. Navigate to dynamic disk groups on the node on which the dynamic disk group is currently imported.
3. Right-click the dynamic disk group to be deported and click Deport.

To import the dynamic disk group on the second node

1. Open Veritas Enterprise Administrator from the Apps menu on the Start screen.

   If the Storage Foundation Assistant automatically opens, close it.

2. Navigate to dynamic disk groups on the node to which you will import the dynamic disk group.
3. Right-click the dynamic disk group to be imported and click Import.

   No drive letter may be associated with an existing dynamic volume when it is imported to a computer for the first time. In such a case, use VEA to add or change drive letters. You need to make sure that drive letters or mount points for the volumes on the second node are the same as were used on the first node.

To add or change a drive letter or mount point

1. In VEA, right-click on the volume for which the drive letter will be added or changed.
2. Select File System and click Change Drive Letter and Path.

   The Drive Letter and Paths window appears.

3. To add a drive letter, click the Add radio button. The Assign a drive letter drop-down list becomes available. Assign a drive letter and click OK.
4. To change a drive letter, click the Modify radio button. The Assign a drive letter drop-down list becomes available. Select the new drive letter and click OK.
5. To add a mount point:

   • Click the Add radio button

   • Click the Mount as an empty NTFS folder radio button.

   • Browse to select an empty folder or click the New Folder button to create a new folder.

   • Click OK to mount the volume.

   Note:

   A mount point is also referred to as a "drive path."

6. To change a mount point, you must remove it and recreate it (step 5).

   To remove it, select it in the Drive Letter and Paths window and click the Remove radio button.
