When you say 'a running lvm', I presume you mean that there is a logical volume that you wish to move and either the raw device is open by an application or database; or there is a mounted filesystem built on it. In either case the included tools should do the job for you, however there are a few rules to consider:-
The logical volume can only be moved within the volume group
Primary & secondary (even tertiary) copies logical partitions (LPs) may not share the same disk
Perhaps something else?
Can you share though output from:-
Are you adding space to your volume group at the same time, or is there space available? It would be good to know the target area you wish to move it to.
Currently, I am planning a migration between machine which under True64UNIX. The new machine will run with higher version O/S. My question is, is there any solution on migrating one machine to another which with different O/S version? My goal is keeping minimum impact to the users.

lvremove
LVREMOVE(8) System Manager's Manual LVREMOVE(8)NAME
lvremove - remove a logical volume
SYNOPSIS
lvremove [-A|--autobackup {y|n}] [-d|--debug] [-h|--help] [-t|--test] [-v|--verbose] [--version] [-f|--force] [--noudevsync] LogicalVol-
ume{Name|Path} [LogicalVolume{Name|Path}...]
DESCRIPTION
lvremove removes one or more logical volumes. Confirmation will be requested before deactivating any active logical volume prior to
removal. Logical volumes cannot be deactivated or removed while they are open (e.g. if they contain a mounted filesystem). Removing an
origin logical volume will also remove all dependent snapshots.
If the logical volume is clustered then it must be deactivated on all nodes in the cluster before it can be removed. A single lvchange com-
mand issued from one node can do this.
OPTIONS
See lvm(8) for common options.
-f, --force
Remove active logical volumes without confirmation.
--noudevsync
Disable udev synchronisation. The process will not wait for notification from udev. It will continue irrespective of any possible
udev processing in the background. You should only use this if udev is not running or has rules that ignore the devices LVM2 cre-
ates.
EXAMPLES
Remove the active logical volume lvol1 in volume group vg00 without asking for confirmation:
lvremove -f vg00/lvol1
Remove all logical volumes in volume group vg00:
lvremove vg00
