moving lv's

[Sharaarti]

We are trying to move some lv's on a server and we are considering lvm mirroring but some of the lv's are striped. Does anyone know if lvm mirroring will work w/ striped lv's?
Would pvmove work or will that take forever?

[Sandman!]

Neither lvm mirroring nor pvmove will work with striped LVOLs. Only dd(1) will.

Thanks, can i get some explanation? or any document? and how we can use dd?

hi sharaarti,

you may want to send us the vgdisplay -v and lvdisplay -v command output of the lvol.
