There is no way you can do this with your apps online. you have to stop them then, You can use any backup/restore tool you have, to copy the data from the lvol on the oldvg to the new lvol on the newvg, some system tools for example tar,cpio,rsync.

There is another way also, where there is no need to copy the data, but you have to deactivate the vgs.Moving one or more physical volumes/lvols into a new volume group:

Hi,

You can copy the entire filesystem instead of move from one vg to another vg and later you can remove the source filesystem.

There are many way you can do this.. few are

dd, cp, tar backup etc..

dd would be fast comparetively.

#dd if=/dev/vgold/lv of=/dev/vgnew/lv bs=1024
