https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-hp-ux/pvmove-problems/m-p/3091159#M631298 Hi all <BR />I am attempting to pvmove data from one set of 10 PVs to another set of 10. The LVs are striped across all 10 PVs. However when I attempt to move from one PV to another the following error is displayed:<BR /><BR />Operation cannot be performed because some of the data on the physical volume<BR />is striped and striped mirroring is not supported. To enable data transfer for<BR />a physical volume through mirroring/reduction, do not specify the striping<BR />options (-i, -I) when creating logical volumes on that physical volume.<BR /><BR />I have read about turning off distributed allocation policy and strict allocation policy before doing this. This does not help. lvchange -D n works fine however lvchange -s n comes back with an error saying only strict allocation is allowed for striped logical volumes.<BR /><BR />Can anyone help me on what I need to do to get pvmove to work in this situation?<BR /><BR />Thanks Sun, 12 Oct 2003 05:09:03 GMT HP-UX Enthusiast 2003-10-12T05:09:03Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-hp-ux/pvmove-problems/m-p/3091159#M631298 Hi all <BR />I am attempting to pvmove data from one set of 10 PVs to another set of 10.

The pvmove command uses mirroring to perform its task. This does NOT work with striped volumes.<BR /> <BR />Best regards...<BR />Dietmar.
