hi, i removed a FC disk (it has a single VG on it) from a AIX 6.1 server and exported it to another AIX server. after doing cfgmgr -v .. the disk showed up in the second AIX 6.1 server. Now how can i see the data which is on the disk from the second AIX server.

How did you export the disk?

Import the VG on the disk via a "learning import". See the man page for the "importvg" command on how to do this.

The varyon the VG, mount the file systems (this information is imported too by importing the VG) and start using them.

I hope this helps.

AFAIK a Learning Import requires that the VG is known in the system already. As the OP removed the VG from one server and put the VG disk into another, I think he needs to import it with a normal importvg command.
# importvg -y<my_vgname> <the_hdisk_containing_theVG>

OOps, shockneck is right. I confused "learning" and normal importvg there.
