Hi,
I have a three disk raid 5, with 500GB disks.
This is close to being full, and whilst I can just add another disk and rebuild to add another 500GB, I would prefer to replace with 1TB disks. So i have some questions.
Can I replace these disks one by one with bigger disks? I... (1 Reply)
Hello Unix Community:
My task to figure out how to add a 20G volume to an existing EBS Array (RAID0) at AWS.
I haven't been told that growing the existing volumes isn't an option, or adding another larger volume to the existing array is the way to go. The client's existing data-store is... (0 Replies)
Hi All
I have a RAID 5 array consisting of 4 drives that had a partial drive failure in one of the drives.
Rebooting shows the faulty drive as background rebuilding and mdadm /dev/ARRAYID shows three drives as in sync with the fourth drive as spare rebuilding.
However the array won't come... (9 Replies)

Hi guys,
I'm new to RAID although I've had a server running raid5 for a while. It was delivered preinstalled like this and I never really wondered how to monitor and maintain it. This quick introduction just to let you understand why I'm such an idiot asking such a silly question.
Now what... (0 Replies)

vgimportclone
VGIMPORTCLONE(8) System Manager's Manual VGIMPORTCLONE(8)NAME
vgimportclone - import and rename duplicated volume group (e.g. a hardware snapshot)
SYNOPSIS
vgimportclone [-n|--basevgname VolumeGroupName] [-i|--import] PhysicalVolume [PhysicalVolume...]
DESCRIPTION
vgimportclone is used to import a duplicated VG (e.g. hardware snapshot). Duplicate VG(s) and PV(s) are not able to be used until they are
made to coexist with the origin VG(s) and PV(s). vgimportclone renames the VG associated with the specified PV(s) and changes the associ-
ated VG and PV UUIDs.
OPTIONS
See lvm for common options.
-n|--basevgname VolumeGroupName
By default the snapshot VG will be renamed to the original name plus a numeric suffix to avoid duplicate naming (e.g. 'test_vg'
would be renamed to 'test_vg1'). This option will override the base VG name that is used for all VG renames. If a VG already
exists with the specified name a numeric suffix will be added (like the previous example) to make it unique.
-i|--import
Import exported Volume Groups. Otherwise VGs that have been exported will not be changed (nor will their associated PVs).
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
LVM_BINARY
The LVM2 binary to use. Defaults to "lvm".
EXAMPLES
The origin VG vg00 has origin PVs /dev/sda and /dev/sdb and the respective snapshot PVs are /dev/sdc and /dev/sdd. To rename the VG asso-
ciated with /dev/sdc and /dev/sdd from vg00 to vg00_snap (and to change associated VG and PV UUIDs) do:
vgimportclone --basevgname vg00_snap /dev/sdc /dev/sdd
