You can find steps in order to migrate the LVM filesystem between HPUX 11.31 servers.
VG Name: vgmovetest
LV Name: lvmovetest
Mountpoint: /mnt
Check files in filesystem.
# ll /mnt/ -rw------- 1 root sys 100000000 Nov 1 10:29 dummyfile -rw------- 1 root sys 500000000 Nov 1 10:29 dummyfile2 -rw------- 1 root sys 14 Nov 1 10:30 testfile1 -rw------- 1 root sys 205 Nov 1 10:28 testfile2
Create vg map
Create vgmap file from the source server. In this command "-p" parameter supply just create the map file, vg does not export really.
# vgexport -v -s -p -m /tmp/vgmovetest.map vgmovetest
Copy the map file to targets.
# scp /tmp/vgmovetest.map root@targetsrv:/tmp/
Map the LUN from storage to targets.
Scan new disks in targets
# ioscan
Check the LUN presented to targets.
# ioscan -funNC disk
In targets, you can import the map file.
#vgimport -m vgmovetest.map -N -v -s vgmovetest
Activate vg in targets.
# vgchange -a y vgmovetest
Mount filesystem.
# mount /dev/vgmovetest/lvmovetest /mnt
Check and compare with source
# ll /mnt/ -rw------- 1 root sys 100000000 Nov 1 10:29 dummyfile -rw------- 1 root sys 500000000 Nov 1 10:29 dummyfile2 -rw------- 1 root sys 14 Nov 1 10:30 testfile1 -rw------- 1 root sys 205 Nov 1 10:28 testfile2
The filesystem can be used in targets.
