Booting off Splitted Disk
Hi,
If VG00 has 2 disks and if the LVOL's are all 'lvsplt', is it possible to boot off this PV ? ( It is still part of VG00 !! ). Can one
use 'setboot -p' to set this as Primary Boot disk ?
Cheers
Doug

Re: Booting off Splitted Disk
After splitting the lvol's you need to perform a vgreduce to remove the secondary disk from vg00 after using vgreduce check vgdisplay and confirm whether you secondary disk is listing in vg00 if it reflects the second disk is not properly removed from vg00 if it's not reflecting you can boot the os with the primary disk.

Re: Booting off Splitted Disk
Hi,
I don't think you can VGREDUCE, if the LVOL's still exist on the disk. First you need to an LVREDUCE / LVREMOVE and go for VGREDUCE.
If use any of the above commands, I will be loosing the LVOL info. / data, as well.
Thanks

Re: Booting off Splitted Disk
see man page for lvsplit command.
here it is.......
Split the mirrored logical volume /dev/vg00/lvol1 into two copies.
Call the new logical volume /dev/vg00/lvol1backup:
lvsplit -s backup /dev/vg00/lvol1
Split the mirrored logical volume /dev/vg00/lvol1 into two copies.
The offline logical volume will be created using the mirror copy on
the physical volumes contain in the physical volume group pvg1.
lvsplit -g pvg1 /dev/vg00/lvol1
Split an online logical volume which is currently mounted on /usr so
that a backup can take place:
lvsplit /dev/vg00/lvol1
fsck /dev/vg00/lvol1b
mount /dev/vg00/lvol1b /usr.backup
Perform a backup operation, then:
umount /usr.backup
lvmerge /dev/vg00/lvol1b /dev/vg00/lvol1
Split two logical volumes at the same time:
lvsplit /dev/vg01/database1 /dev/vg01/database2
Perform operation on split logical volumes, then rejoin them:
lvmerge /dev/vg01/database1b /dev/vg01/database1
lvmerge /dev/vg01/database2b /dev/vg01/database1
WARNINGS
After a two-way mirrored logical volume has been split once, it cannot
be split again without merging the logical volumes using the lvmerge
command (see lvmerge(1M)).

Re: Booting off Splitted Disk
Hi,
Many Thanks for your reply. Well, I'm interested in booting off the system using the LVOL's formed by this splitted disk and not taking a backup.
If it were a storage box like XP / EMC, I'm sure it is possible to form a new VG with splitted LVOL's.
I want to form a new VG with these 'lvsplit'd' LVOL's. Is this possible ?
Thanks
Doug

Re: Booting off Splitted Disk
The best that you can do is set up an alternate vg00 - vgbak and do a periodic copy (dd of your lvols over).
If your intent for the split bootdisk is to use it for another system with exact same hardware AND that bootdisk is a SAN disk and happens to be "split" via BusinessCOpy or BCV - THEN it is possible.
