AIX:Moving filesystem between volume groups

Step 1) Close the source LV (umount filesystem) # umount /fs_on_testvg1 Step 2) Copy the source LV to another VG # cplv -v new_vg -y newname_lv oldname_lv cplv: Logical volume loglv01 successfully copied to newname_lv . Step 3) Change filesystem's lv and log device (with these residing on new new_vg). # chfs -a dev=/dev/newname_lv -a log=/dev/jfslogvg2_lv /fs_on_testvg1 Step 4) Remove old (source) LV. # rmlv -f oldname_lv Step 5) Change the LV name: newname_lv to oldname_lv Syntax: chlv -n NewLogicalVolume LogicalVolume I our case: # chlv -n oldname_lv newname_lv Step 6) Mount the filesystem # mount /fs_on_testvg1
