The original disk will not mount due to volume group name conflicts with the existing drive(s).
+
Follow this procedure to rename the volume group on the original disk:
+
+
Boot from SME Server 7.1 (or newer) install CD
+
+
press F5
+
+
type "sme rescue" at the command prompt and hit enter
+
+
Note: don't start the network and skip mounting the filesystem.
+
+
mdadm -AR /dev/md5 /dev/hdx2
+
lvm vgscan
+
lvm vgs -v
+
lvm vgchange -a n
+
lvm vgrename orig_vg_name new_vg_name
+
exit
+
+
Now remove the CD and reboot
+
+
mdadm -AR /dev/md5 /dev/hdx2
+
vgscan
+
vgchange -a y new_vg_name
+
mkdir /mnt/tmp
+
mount /dev/new_vg_name/root /mnt/tmp
+
+
You should now be able to view all your old data under /mnt/tmp
+
+
Follow the steps listed above to use CopyFromDisk to restore the data.
