* [linux-lvm] moving LVMs to another machine @ 2011-01-14 19:25 Albert Everett 2011-01-14 19:41 ` Albert Everett 2011-01-14 19:54 ` [linux-lvm] " Ray Morris 0 siblings, 2 replies; 6+ messages in thread From: Albert Everett @ 2011-01-14 19:25 UTC (permalink / raw) To: linux-lvm This is my first time trying to do this, so please forgive me if what I'm asking is trivial. I'm anxious not to loose data. I have moved a Dell MD3000 with an MD1000 attached from one CentOS 4.5 x86_64 machine to another. I've installed Dell's drivers on the second machine and I see output below. /dev/sdb and sdc are on the MD3000; /dev/sdd, sde and sdf are on the MD1000. Filesystem on both is ext3, and I only used LVM to concatenate <2TB volumes because the MD3000 firmware required it@the time. I did not actively deactivate any volume groups or logical volumes before I made this move. Q: What are my next steps after lvscan to bring the two logical volumes back online? OS, etc are all on /dev/sda; the logical volumes just have extra stuff. Q: Am I right to assume that once lv0 and lv1 show as active, all I need to do is mount them somewhere, and that the filesystems they contain should be intact? I had no disk or controller failures that I know of.

I found after I sent my msgs to this list that the second machine automagically created its own /etc/lvm, and when I did # vgchange -a y everything came up great. It's cool that the LVM config info is stored to the PVs. My compliments to the developers.

If they were pulled while mounted, you'd want to fsck just as if the filesystem were on a raw disk or a partition. Since you said you "did not actively deactivate any volume groups", I'm assuming you did not use "vgexport" and therefore don't need to use "vgimport". -- Ray Morris support@bettercgi.com Strongbox - The next generation in site security: http://www.bettercgi.com/strongbox/ Throttlebox - Intelligent Bandwidth Control http://www.bettercgi.com/throttlebox/ Strongbox / Throttlebox affiliate program: http://www.bettercgi.com/affiliates/user/register.php On Fri, 14 Jan 2011 13:25:24 -0600 Albert Everett <aeeverett@ualr.edu> wrote: > This is my first time trying to do this, so please forgive me if what > I'm asking is trivial.
