how to create AdvFS domains in new install from old disks



Hi,

I have just installed 5.1A (PK4) on a 1000A machine that was previously
running 4.0E.  I have the disks from 4.0E still in the cabinet and there is
data still on those (in AdvFS domains) that I want to make available in
5.1A.  I haven't changed the disklabels for any of the disks.  Can I create
AdvFS domains using the same names and same partitions just using the new
device names?

For instance:

on the old (4.0E) system:

	showfdmn -k home_domain

	               Id              Date Created  LogPgs  Domain Name
	3523e6b8.0009dfad  Thu Apr  2 14:27:52 1998     512  home_domain

	  Vol    1K-Blks        Free  % Used  Cmode  Rblks  Wblks  Vol Name
	   1L    3110877     2347504     25%     on    256    256  /dev/rz9d


I believe that /dev/rz9 (on 4.0E) is now /dev/disk/dsk4 in 5.1A.


How do I make home_domain in 5.1A and not lose any data?  Do I just 'mkfdmn
/dev/disk/dsk4d home_domain'?  What about AdvFS versions?  Do I need to do
anything else to get the AdvFS domains to v.4?

Thanks alot!
