Example

Task 1 : Ckeck the logical volume and it mount point . In our example we are going to move /my
filesytem from mvg01 to poovg01.
$ df -g
Filesystem GB blocks Free %Used Iused %Iused Mounted on
/dev/hd4 0.25 0.20 21% 2514 2% /
/dev/hd2 2.88 0.42 86% 33394 5% /usr
/dev/hd9var 0.25 0.11 58% 4495 7% /var
/dev/hd3 0.12 0.08 34% 375 2% /tmp
/dev/hd1 0.50 0.48 4% 22 1% /home

/dev/lv_admin 0.12 0.12 4% 67 1% /admin
/dev/fslv00 16.00 3.56 78% 31558 4% /sejinstall
/dev/mylv 2.00 2.00 1% 4 1% /my
Task 2 : List the volume group present on the system.
$ lsvg
rootvg
myvg01
poovg01
Task 3 : Identify the Volume Group corresponds to the filesystem and Logical Volume. In this
example mylv is the LV name for filesystme /my and it resides on VG myvg01 .
$ lsvg -l myvg01
myvg01:
LV NAME TYPE LPs PPs PVs LV STATE MOUNT POINT
mylv jfs2 8 8 1 open/syncd /my
loglv01 jfs2log 1 1 1 open/syncd N/A
Task 4 : Umount the filesytem .
$umount /my
Task 5 : Copy the mylv to Volume Group poovg1 with new LV name mylvnew.
$ cplv -v poovg01 -y mylvnew mylv
cplv: Logical volume mylv successfully copied to mylvnew .
Task 6: create a jfs2log file with name loglv02.
$ mklv -t jfs2log -y loglv02 poovg01 1
loglv02
Task 7 : Format the log file.
$ logform /dev/loglv02
logform: destroy /dev/rloglv02 (y)?y
Task 8 : Assign the log /dev/loglv02 to the LV /dev/mylvnew.
$ chfs -a dev=/dev/mylvnew -a log=/dev/loglv02 /my

Task 9 : Run filesystem check on the mount point /my.

$ fsck -p /my
The current volume is: /dev/mylvnew
Primary superblock is valid.
J2_LOGREDO:log redo processing for /dev/mylvnew
J2_LOGREDO:logredo: /dev/loglv01 is not a log file
j2_logredo.cpp: ERROR in openFilesystems line 1852, openLog
j2_logredo.cpp: ERROR in j2_logredo line 656, openFilesystems
Failure replaying log: -8
exec module "/sbin/helpers/jfs2/logredo64" failed.
logredo failed (rc=248). fsck continuing.
Primary superblock is valid.
*** Phase 1 - Initial inode scan
*** Phase 2 - Process remaining directories
*** Phase 3 - Process remaining files
*** Phase 4 - Check and repair inode allocation map
*** Phase 5 - Check and repair block allocation map
File system is clean.
Task 10 : Mount the filesystem /my.
$ mount /my
Task 11 : Verify the filesystem /my mounted correctly.
$ df -g
Filesystem GB blocks Free %Used Iused %Iused Mounted on
/dev/hd4 0.25 0.20 21% 2518 2% /
/dev/hd2 2.88 0.42 86% 33394 5% /usr
/dev/hd9var 0.25 0.11 58% 4495 7% /var
/dev/hd3 0.12 0.08 34% 375 2% /tmp
/dev/hd1 0.50 0.48 4% 22 1% /home
/proc - - - - - /proc
/dev/hd10opt 0.75 0.26 66% 3996 3% /opt
/dev/lv_admin 0.12 0.12 4% 67 1% /admin
/dev/fslv00 16.00 3.56 78% 31558 4% /sejinstall
/dev/mylvnew 2.00 2.00 1% 6 1% /my
Task 12 : Below out show LV mylv01 is present on myvg01 VG and it is in closed status.
.
$ lsvg -l myvg01
myvg01:
LV NAME TYPE LPs PPs PVs LV STATE MOUNT POINT
mylv jfs2 8 8 1 closed/syncd N/A
loglv01 jfs2log 1 1 1 closed/syncd N/A
Task 13 : Remove the LV mylv01 from the system.
$ rmlv mylv
Warning, all data contained on logical volume mylv will be destroyed.
rmlv: Do you wish to continue? y(es) n(o)? y
rmlv: Logical volume mylv is removed.

$ lsvg -l myvg01
myvg01:
LV NAME TYPE LPs PPs PVs LV STATE MOUNT POINT
loglv01 jfs2log 1 1 1 closed/syncd N/A
Task 14: Verify the mylvnew is present in poovg01.
$ lsvg -l poovg01
poovg01:
LV NAME TYPE LPs PPs PVs LV STATE MOUNT POINT
poolv jfs2 8 8 1 closed/syncd N/A
mylvnew jfs2 8 8 1 open/syncd /my
loglv02 jfs2log 1 1 1 open/syncd N/A
By this way we can move a filesystem from VG to VG .
