HP-UX

Hi, This is my first post and I hope I can present my questions the right way. I am going to be asked to create logical volumes for a Hitachi SAN device on a New HP 11 server. Currently, They are running their data on a EMC (prod server). They are looking to convert the data and filesystems over to the HDS.

Can you help with a couple of things.
1: what things do I need to do or watch out for in this process.

2: I am being to told that I am going to be given the Luns from th SAN team. What drivers would I need to install on the HP to attach the Hitachi Luns.

3: What commands will I need to run to implement the Logical volumes.

Any information would be appreciated...

Try to get the LUN sizes same so that it is easy to migrate
2. I am being to told that I am going to be given the Luns from th SAN team. What drivers would I need to install on the HP to attach the Hitachi Luns.
I would refer websites hp / hitachi to find / download the drivers.

3. What commands will I need to run to implement the Logical volumes.

== If you are to migrate , then LVM commands pvcreate,vgextend and pvmove are sufficient.

Start =>
Install the drivers
get the luns assigned from SAN team
run ioscan
Run insf

pvcreate the new LUNs
vgextend to the correct VGs
pvmove from old to the new

Check man pages for more details.
