This is correct listserv - please ignore my senior moment. Looking at lvconvert but wondering how to handle /etc/fstab updates. So yes, still wondering what process folks are using for san migrations to new hardware.

I would say you're more likely to want to use the pvmove command. Add the new disks to the VG and then: 1. Use pvchange -x n on the "old" PVs. This will disable allocation of physical extents on them. 2. Use pvmove on the old PVs. You don't need to specify a destination PV if you don't want to.
