Follow the following steps (note - replace testvg, newtestvg with your VG name. Same for filesystems.):
Unmount all filesystems in the volume group:
(x9A3)/#umount testfs
Vary off the appsvg:
(x9A3)/#varyoffvg testvg
export the appsvg:
(x9A3)/#exportvg testvg
import the new volume group using the -y option and a hdisk number that the old volume group was on:
(x9A3)/#importvg -y newtestvg hdisk3
0516-010 lqueryvg: Volume group must be varied on; use varyonvg command.
newtestvg
Mount the filesystems that exist on the old volume group and now are on appsoldvg:
(x9A3)/#mount /testfs
