[linux-lvm] Move LV with GFS to new LUN (pvmove) in the cluster

[emmanuel segura]

I used this procedure to archive what you need to do.

1: active cmirror on every cluster nodes
2: lvconvert -m 1 vg00/lvdata /dev/mapper/mapth1 --corelog #where mpath1 is
the new lun

When the lvdata lv is in sync, now you can the dettach the old lun with

lvconvert -m 0 vg00/lvdata /dev/mapper/mapth0
