How to increase PV's in a Volume group ?
I have a Volume group on one of my production box. The no of PV's within the same is 16 which I need to increase.

Can this be done online or do we need a downtime for this ?
Please provide the exact details and steps for this activity urgently, as need to do this on my production box.
Please revert if you need any more details. Thanking you in advance.

Hello,
I have logical volume group of 50GB, in which I have 2 logical volumes, LogVol01 and LogVol02, both are of 10GB.
If I extend LogVol01 further by 10GB, then it keeps the extended copy after logical volume 2. I want to know where it keeps this information

Does anyone have any simple methods for moving a current logical volume from one volume group to another? I do not wish to move the data from one physical volume to another. Basically, I want to "relink" the logical volume to exist in a different volume group. Any ideas? (2 Replies)

vgrename
VGRENAME(8) System Manager's Manual VGRENAME(8)
NAME
vgrename - rename a volume group
SYNOPSIS
vgrename [-A|--autobackup y|n] [-d|--debug] [-h|-?|--help] [-t|--test] [-v|--verbose] OldVolumeGroup{Path|Name|UUID} NewVol-
umeGroup{Path|Name}
DESCRIPTION
vgrename renames an existing (see vgcreate(8) ) volume group from OldVolumeGroup{Name|Path|UUID} to NewVolumeGroup{Name|Path}.
OPTIONS
See lvm for common options.
Examples
"vgrename /dev/vg02 /dev/my_volume_group" renames existing volume group "vg02" to "my_volume_group".
"vgrename vg02 my_volume_group" does the same.
"vgrename Zvlifi-Ep3t-e0Ng-U42h-o0ye-KHu1-nl7Ns4 VolGroup00_tmp" changes the name of the Volume Group with UUID Zvlifi-Ep3t-e0Ng-U42h-o0ye-
KHu1-nl7Ns4 to "VolGroup00_tmp".
All the Volume Groups visible to a system need to have different names. Otherwise many LVM2 commands will refuse to run or give warning
messages.
This situation could arise when disks are moved between machines. If a disk is connected and it contains a Volume Group with the same name
as the Volume Group containing your root filesystem the machine might not even boot correctly. However, the two Volume Groups should have
different UUIDs (unless the disk was cloned) so you can rename one of the conflicting Volume Groups with vgrename.
