[SOLVED] Move LV to a different PV (same VG)
Hi guys, I need some assistance moving a LV. Smilie

I have a VG with two PV; on the second PV there is only one LV so I want to move it to the first PV (hdisk1) in order to get rid of the second one (hdisk2)

Something like (pseudocode):
Code:
move MyLV from hdisk2 to hdisk1

How can I achieve that?

read for man pages of pvmove.

WARNING: be careful when operating on LVM, errors may destroy data with almost no chanche of recovery and/or render your system unusable. *ALWAYS* test procedures on lab systems, carefully detail the procedures themselves, and perform an extensive backup of your data before applyng changes to production systems!

see ya

Thanks, but isn't pvmove a Linux tool?

It doesn't seem to be available on AIX.

well... I thought it was part of the LVM suite, actually don't know about IBM proprietary LVM.

sorry for the misunderstanding.

good luck

Nevermind, I found the solution:

Code:
migratepv -l myLV hdisk2 hdisk1
