[ketan.patel@uk.nomura.com]

Try this:

#vxprint -q -v -g old_DG -F "%{name} %{len}" | awk '{print "vxassist -g
new_DG make " $1 " " $2}' > cmd_file
#vi cmd_file (make changes as you require)
#sh cmd_file

You might be able to use an invocation of the `vxprint -am` command 
(don't have the man pages on me to be sure of the flags, sorry) to 
create a sort of configuration command file. You can then move that file

to another system and feed that file to `vxmake`. Can't remember whether

or not you'll have to massage the command file to reflect the different 
disk names on the new system, though.
