Re: More of an AIX question

I won't cover all the fine details here, email me directly if need help
with AIX SMIT but here's quick details.  You don't reassign, you delete
from one VG then add to another. 

First do an lspv command at AIX prompt and see if these two disks
are part of a Volume Group - hdisk4 most likely is.  If not a part of
a VG then assign to one.  For hdisk4, you need to make sure the jfslog
is mirrored to another disk before you remove - unless this is the
only disk in this VG  -in that case delete VG.  After mirroring jfslog
then delete the lvcopy on this disk, then remove disk from
Volume Group.  (fastpath = smit vgsc).

I'm doing a little cleanup of some things and I need to move 2 physical
disks, hdisk4 and hdisk20, from one volume group to another. Hdisk20 has
nothing on it any longer, hdisk4 has 1 PP assigned as a loglv02 jfslog. I
need to re-assign them in a different volumegroup and can't seem to find how
to do that.

They are not mounted, except it seems the jfslog. Any help on getting these
moved from one vg to another would be appreciated. I need to use them to add
database space and mirror it.

I would see if I have any file system with 1pp size free what ever is the
size.I will copy all data there under that
directory since u have very small data .Make sure copy -p with -r option
.Check all is copied well.
Now reducevg and remodisks from vg .Now create the vg u need to create and
create lv and filesystem and do what u want.


U can reduce vg by removing disk that does not have anything on it after
umount  the filesystems AND deleting them.
Using one disk create vg lv and file system .Copy from one file system to
another.
