lvreduce a mirror from 2 disks

Hi
i work with 2 EVA Storage and an HPUX 11 server. I want to move an logical volume from the first bay to the second. This logical volume have PE on two disk( vdisk) on the first EVA !!!
i want to make an mirror between the LV and PV locate on the Second bay.
#lvextend -1 /dev/vg02/lvolA /dev/dsk/cXtYdZ

and after remove all data from the first bay.
#lvreduce тАУ0 /dev/vg02/lvolA /dev/dsk/cxtydz /dev/dsk/cxtydw
Can i reduce an mirror by this way ? from two disk at the same time?
thank for you help

Re: lvreduce a mirror from 2 disks

Yes, that will work just fine.

You will need to use the -m option with lvextend and lvreduce

# lvextend -m 1 /dev/vg02/lvolA /dev/dsk/newdisk

# lvreduce -m 0 /dev/vg02/lvolA /dev/dsk/olddisk1 /dev/dsk/olddisk2

Learn What to do ,How to do and more importantly When to do ?

Re: lvreduce a mirror from 2 disks

I am sort of confused as to what you are wanting to achieve. But You could add another vdisk to the volume group and then use the pvmove command to move all the extents associated with that lvol to the other disk.

pvmove -n

Shalom,

I believe lvsplit may also work.

Best approach in my opinion is to completely break the mirror on the whole logical volume and then rebuild it after.

This is more time consuming but it lets you do it the way you want.
