moving volumes/disks between systems

[Klorese, Roger B.A.]

Yes, this is true.

It is our intention, if enough customers request it through Sun and our
sales/support organizations (depending on who you buy from), to
implement a disk group split/join operation.

There is a Sunsolve doc that describes a non-supported (because if you
do it incorrectly you can really screw yourself royally, and because it
is not doable in an atomic configuration transaction) method to do this;
see Sunsolve SRDB #14882.
