I intend to migrate data from 2 different storages on hpux. The idea is to create similar LVM structure and to copy the data using dd's between lvol's.
Unfortunately, due to disks size, I can't use the same PE size that was used before (4MB). Probably I will use 8MB or even more.
This causes to the original lvol to be a little bit smaller than the new one (4MB smaller).
Will the dd work? Will I be able to fsck and mount the new lvol?
Thanks in advice,
RR
PS- Points will be given!!!

Re: dd between lvols of different size
If the destination is larger than the source, the filesystem won't know this and will function as if the lvol did not change size. To get the filesystem to use the additional space, run extendfs on the raw devicefile for the destination. Then you can mount the lvol.

Re: dd between lvols of different size
All original lvols won't be mounted, as they will probably belong to XP Business Copy luns.
I intend to import the vg and then dd the data into the new structure.
Of course, we will stop all aplications just before we split the BC.
This way I could the easily use dd of rlvols, right?
Thanks,
Ricardo
