RH Switching rootvg/sanvg to New SAN
Hi, what's the safest procedure to reconfigure RH BFS to a new SAN?
Current setup boots rootvg and sanvg from a SAN.
Now a new SAN LUN is presented to the Linux Server.
The first and second SAN are srdf'd - so they are always in sync.
Can I re-use the existing LVM structure and somehow switch the underlying devices to the new LUNs?
Or, do I have to start from scratch, create new luns, re-build LVM, and re-install RH?
Urgent - this is scary. Thanks.

I want to increase the size of /tmp by 1GB
I know that the command is
chfs -a size=+1G /tmp
But the rootvg is mirrored and when I do a lsvg -p rootvg, I could see 2 disks.
Will there be any impact if I increase the size of /tmp when the rootvg is mirrored ?
Please advise. (1 Reply)
