Volume Groups on new PV

[bassey essien_1]

I have created two new PV named /dev/rdsk/c8t0d0 and /dev/rdsk/c8t1d0, each has 500 Gig
host:# pvcreate /dev/rdsk/c8t0d0
# pvcreates /dev/rdsk/c8t1d0
I have ten volume groups on existing 12 physical volumes.
Vg00 has three PV:/dev/dsk/c0t4d0,/dev/dsk/c0t5d0, /dev/dsk/c0t6d0
VG08:/dev/dsk/c1t3d0, /dev/dsk/c9t5d0,/dev/dsk/c9t6d0
Now i want to move /dev/rdsk/c8t0d0,/dev/rdsk/c8t1d0 to an existing volume groups.
Vgextend /dev/vg08 /dev/dsk/c8t0d0 /dev/dsk/c8t1d0
Finally move the source physical volume to the destination physical volumes.
host:# pvmove /dev/dsk/c1t3d0 /dev/dsk/c8t0d0
I noticed that when doing pvdisplay on /dev/rdsk/c8t0d0 i have error message " couldn't find the volume group to which physical volume /dev/dsk/c8t0d0 belongs"
I want to move all physical volumes to the new disk, iam not sure if i need to create new volume groups, i intend to keep the existing volume groups on new disk.
I need help to accomplish this.
thanks.

Hi,

post your 'strings /etc/lvmtab' 'vgdisplay -v' outputs.

Did your 'vgextend' succeed?
