SVM - Storage array migration effort
944376Jun 18 2012 — edited Jun 18 2012We have several Solaris servers which have both internal drives not under SVM control and Array based SVM devices built into filesystems.
We need to do 2 things:
1) Migrate internal drives to Array based luns
2) Migrate existing SVM luns to new storage array.
I found and read through the Admin guide for SVM, and it appears to address "migration" only in relation to creating a mirror for an existing volume.
What I would like to do is replace (or mirror) the underlying devices of an existing filesystem, not the entire filesystem at the top level.
Im much more familiar with Linux LVM, where I would add new PV's to an existing VG and use the pvmove command.
I don't see a similiar capability in Solaris 10 LVM so wanted to check with the more experienced folks on how to proceed with this array migration effort.
Thanks
