Sorry, we have 9 complete dasd to use for the installation, not mdisks. It
would be one VG and only one LV.

Michael,

You'll need to be a little more explicit.  Are you saying that you want
to move to an environment where you'll be using 9 separate minidisks
that make up an LVM VG, with multiple file systems carved out of it on
multiple logical volumes?

If so, then with the caveat that your /boot directory needs to be on a
"real" minidisk and not an LVM LV, then you should be able to do it
without reinstalling.  Check out
http://linuxvm.org/Info/HOWTOs/movefs.html for an example of how to do
it for one file system, then just repeat.

Subject: Copying a SLES9 installation


I currently have a 31 bit installation of SLES9 on two dasd, one mdisk
is mounted as / and the other as /usr.  We aren't using logicial
volumes.  We would like to copy this installation to a logical volume
with 9 dasd. What is the recommended way of doing this?  Or is it
necessary to do a new install?

Thanks,
Michael Krysiak
