Hi All,

I am planning to do a LVM replicate to another server.
Example :
server1.foo.com has / , /boot , swap and few LVM partitions. All are in /dev/sda disk of size 80GB. /dev/sda5 is a LVM partition which has only one vg00 and it has 2 LV's (/var and /usr) and a SAN storage connected to this server which has around 500GB of single partition(a LV partition) called /data and its under vg00 .
Now I have build another server called "server2.foo.com" with same RedHat OS version - RHEL 4 and want to import the same LVM setup at destination.
Down time or unmounting the filesystem is not a problem (but am trying to reduce the down time as much as possible).

Is there any way that I can take a proper snapshot of whole LVM disk and restore with same setup at destination without losing the data and the lvm file system layout ?

Can you please help me in guiding and assisting me on this.

Thanks,
rak
