Moving to a new SAN device

[redwings]

Hello all,

Just have a quick question... I am moving all my data to a new SAN device and losing my connection to the old device. I have one part I am not sure on what to do with it:

LV NAME LPs PPs DISTRIBUTION MOUNT POINT
loglv01 1 1 00..01..00..00..00 N/A

Can this be deleted and will it be recreated on the new SAN or do I have to do something else with it? I have already moved all the other file systems and I am ready to remove my connection to this old SAN system.

Thanks for any info.

A log device is created for the volume group and you can recreate it if you want after your move. Just make sure your filesystems are unmounted.

How do you recreate this log device?

Hi

You can add a SAN-NEW Disk to the SAN-OLD vg and do a migratepv
If the Volumes resides in different VG then you can do a cplv, ( Update /etc/filesystems ! )
Is the Logvolume a jfs log ? if yes you can create a new lv in same size and format the lv with logform for jfs logging use.
