Hi

I have been asked to move an external disk pack from one machine onto
another.  The data on the disks is not required on the new system.  I am not
100% sure about how to do this, can anyone tell me if the following is
correct.

Unmount file systems on host 1
remove entries from /etc/vfstab
shutdown host 1
remove disk pack
reboot using 'boot -r'

shutdown host 2
install disk pack
reboot using 'boot -r'
format disks to required layout
newfs disk partitions
create directories for mount points
add new file-systems to /etc/vfstab
mount file-systems

Thanks
