TO MOVE A LOGICAL VOLUME FROM A VOLUME GROUP TO ANOTHER VOLUME GROUP
ACTUALLY MOVING A LOGICAL VOLUME IS A PROCESS TO COPY VOLUME TO ANOTHER VOLUME GROUP AND THEN REMOVE IT FROM THE SOURCE LOCATION
1. CREATE A LOGICAL VOLUME
# mklv -t jfs2 rootvg 1
fslv15
2)CREATE A FILE SYSTEM ON THAT LOGICAL VOLUME
# crfs -v jfs2 -d /dev/fslv15 -m /abc
File system created successfully.
130864 kilobytes total disk space.
New File System size is 262144
3)USE CPLV COMMAND TO MOVE THE LOGICAL VOLUME FROM OLD VG TO NEW VG
# cplv -v vijayvg fslv15
cplv: Logical volume fslv15 successfully copied to fslv16 .
4) VERIFY THE MOVEMENT IN NEW VG
# lsvg -l vijayvg
vijayvg:
LV NAME TYPE LPs PPs PVs LV STATE MOUNT POINT
loglv00 jfs2log 1 1 1 open/syncd N/A
fslv00 jfs2 120 120 1 open/syncd /wpar-file
fslv05 jfs2 48 48 1 open/syncd /tsmsoftwares
loglv01 jfslog 1 1 1 closed/syncd N/A
fslv16 jfs2 1 1 1 closed/syncd N/A
fslv02 jfs2 20 20 1 open/syncd /opt/tivoli
fslv06 jfs2 32 32 1 open/syncd /tsm01
fslv11 jfs2 40 40 1 open/syncd /nimfs
#
IF THE VOLUME COPIED ABOVE ALREADY EXISTS IN THE DESTINATION VOLUME GROUP THEN IT WILL RENAME THE VOLUME GROUP TO THE NEXT AVAILABLE NAME
5)NOW REMOVE LOGICAL VOLUME FROM THE SOURCE
# lsvg -l rootvg |grep fslv15
fslv15 jfs2 1 1 1 open/syncd /abc
# umount /abc
# rmlv fslv15
Warning, all data contained on logical volume fslv15 will be destroyed.
rmlv: Do you wish to continue? y(es) n(o)? y
rmlv: Logical volume fslv15 is removed.
