This document provides steps to move a logical volume (/my) containing a filesystem from one volume group (myvg01) to another (poovg01) on an AIX system. It involves:
1) Unmounting the filesystem, copying the logical volume to the new volume group with a new name, creating and formatting a new log file, and assigning it to the copied logical volume.
2) Running filesystem checks and mounting the filesystem under the new volume group.
3) Verifying the filesystem is now accessible under the new volume group and removing the original logical volume.

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 /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/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.

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 .
