Thanks for this information. We have had some similar steps in mind to restore this setting to a new server. Did you mean by "recreate your VG" the configuration within the RAID controller software or within Open-E ? If you restore the LVM with the console did this recreate the VG structure from Open-E too ? Do we have to restore the configuration with webGui only or also the setup (whats the difference by the way....) ? Did this also restore the Failover setup ? How do we sync the contend of the the mirrored VGs back to the new server (Failback) ? Do we have to setup new replication task with switched source <> destinations or can we use the existing ones ? Might be a good idea for Mr. Bak to do a failover webinar.....
