Hello,
I have logical volume group of 50GB, in which I have 2 logical volumes, LogVol01 and LogVol02, both are of 10GB.

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)

backup_listvolsets
BACKUP_LISTVOLSETS(8) AFS Command Reference BACKUP_LISTVOLSETS(8)
NAME
backup_listvolsets - Lists volume set entries from the Backup Database
SYNOPSIS
backup listvolsets [-name <volume set name>] [-localauth]
[-cell <cell name>] [-help]
backup listv [-n <volume set name>] [-l]
[-c <cell name>] [-h]
DESCRIPTION
The backup listvolsets command displays the Backup Database records for either
o All volume sets and their volume entries, if the -name argument is omitted.
o The volume set specified by the -name argument, along with its volume entries.
OPTIONS
-name <volume set name>
Names the volume set to display. If this argument is omitted, the output lists all volume sets defined in the Backup Database.
-localauth
Constructs a server ticket using a key from the local /etc/openafs/server/KeyFile file. The backup command interpreter presents it to
the Backup Server, Volume Server and VL Server during mutual authentication. Do not combine this flag with the -cell argument. For more
details, see backup(8).
-cell <cell name>
Names the cell in which to run the command. Do not combine this argument with the -localauth flag. For more details, see backup(8).
-help
Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are ignored.
OUTPUT
The entry for each volume set begins with the "Volume set" header and the volume set's name. A temporary volume set's name is followed by
the string " (temporary)". Each volume entry follows on a separate line, indicating the entry's index number and the server, partition, and
volume names it matches. The output uses the metacharacter notation described on the backup addvolentry reference page. Use the index
number to identify volume entries when deleting them with the backup delvolentry command.
EXAMPLES
The following example shows the volume entries in the three volume sets currently defined in the Backup Database:
% backup listvolsets
Volume set user:
Entry 1: server .*, partition .*, volumes: user.*.backup
Volume set sun
Entry 1: server .*, partition .*, volumes: sun4x_55..*
Entry 2: server .*, partition .*, volumes: sun4x_56..*
Volume set rs
Entry 1: server .*, partition .*, volumes: rs_aix42..*
PRIVILEGE REQUIRED
The issuer must be listed in the /etc/openafs/server/UserList file on every machine where the Backup Server is running, or must be logged
onto a server machine as the local superuser "root" if the -localauth flag is included.
