Unmount the filesystem, and run "vgexport" for the volume group. Then take the volume offline via sysfs, and detach it from the guest (This assumes you're on the 2.6 kernel. With 2.4 it's a little more complicated).
Repeat the process in reverse on the other system, doing a vgimport on the other side. I'm reasonably sure I've done this successfully. It's much easier to set up an NFS share though, and leave the volume attached to one guest. > -----Original Message----- > From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of > Ranga Nathan > Sent: Wednesday, May 10, 2006 2:52 PM > To: LINUX-390@VM.MARIST.EDU > Subject: [LINUX-390] Is it possible to move an LVM from guest > to guest? > > > I want to set up an LVM that I can move from guest to guest.
