a puzzle

hi ,i have a question and i want your help.
i have a vg01 containing /dev/dsk/c8t0d5,/dev/dsk/c8t0d6.now i want to pvmove the lv on /dev/dsk/c8t0d5 to /dev/dsk/c8t0d6,and /dev/dsk/c8t0d6 has enough space
my puzzle is that should i take any other considerations(does it need some unallocated space on c8t0d5 ) when pvmoing except for enough space on c8t0d6?

your suggestion will be pointed

lee,

I don't think it requires additional space.

Re: a puzzle

hi

to move it a sufficient space on the target would be enough, you don't need extra space on the source disk

Re: a puzzle

pvmove does not needs free extends on the source.
ps a other way to move a lvol is to use mirroring...

I do not expect anny problems if the free extends on d6 are more than the extends you are moving from d5

dit you got a error when running?
