Change from vg00 small disk to vg01 big disk
My project: i want to migrate from a vg00(actual 75GB disk) to a new vg01 (300GB disk),hpux is 11.31 on itanium efi system.
vg00 is disk0
vg01 is disk8
I did this
#check old disk dimension
diskinfo -b /dev/rdisk/disk0_p2 | awk '{print $1/1024}'
#create a part file
vi /tmp/partition
3
EFI 500MB
HPUX 100%
HPSP 400MB
#efi partition on new disk
idisk -f /tmp/partui -w /dev/rdisk/disk8
insf -e
pvcreate -B /dev/rdisk/disk8_p2
#make bootable
mkboot -e -l /dev/disk/disk8
echo 'boot vmunix -lq' > /tmp/AUTO
efi_cp -d /dev/disk/disk8_p1 /tmp/AUTO EFI/HPUX/AUTO
then i create vg01
mkdir /dev/vg01 mknod /dev/vg01/group c 128 0x010000 vgcreate -V 2.2 -S 280g -s 32m vg01 /dev/disk/disk8_p2 #create volumes 3 contiguos lvcreate -L DIMENSIONEMEGA -C y -n lvol1 /dev/vg01 lvcreate -L DIMENSIONEMEGA -C y -n lvol2 /dev/vg01 lvcreate -L DIMENSIONEMEGA -C y -n lvol3 /dev/vg01 #other volumes lvcreate -L DIMENSIONEMEGA -C y -n lvol4 /dev/vg01 lvcreate -L DIMENSIONEMEGA -C y -n lvol5 /dev/vg01 #boot volumes lvlnboot -b /dev/vg01/lvol1 lvlnboot -s /dev/vg01/lvol2 lvlnboot -d /dev/vg01/lvol2 lvlnboot -r /dev/vg01/lvol3 lvlnboot -R
After this i have mount the new vg01volumes
create ok lvol1 with hfs and others with vxfs
And i put my backups(cpio)
on the new root.
After this i boot from vg01 and..kernel panic 
I can boot of course from old vg00
Won't boot in any mode,i have try -lq and -lm
nothing happens
What i miss?
Thanks
I see also something strange
strings /etc/lvmtab /dev/vg00 #tmRW /dev/disk/disk0_p2
vg01 not appear :(
But vgdisplay,mount and fsck of vg01 volumes ok.
Strange

Re: Change from vg00 small disk to vg01 big disk
With version 1.0 vgscan report also vg01(wich
appear in lvmtab)
Is possible to convert a bootable vg01 1.0
to bootable vg01 2.2?
I heard somewhere that vg01 2.2 support
boot

Re: Change from vg00 small disk to vg01 big disk
To view VG's from LVM 2.0+ you should use the command 'lvmadm -l'. This will display info for all VG's.
>>And i put my backups(cpio)
>>on the new root.
Were these backups created before you made the new VG? At any rate, I am not sure this will work.
As Emil states using DRD to clone to the bigger disk may be the way to go. You will have to boot into LVM maintenance mode to expand the LV's.
Another option is to create an Ignite image of VG00 and then restore that image to the bigger disks. Again, you will have to make adjustments to utilize the extra space.
