Mount HP-UX VXFS 6 filesystem on Redhat Linux Server?
Here goes:
I have a need to migrate a numebr of large files from several servers to a linux based system from HP-UX 11.23.
The data resides on VXFS version 6 filesystems on san storage.
I have ...
To migrate data between HP-ux and Linux you need to:
- If data is not already in VxVM volumes then you need to convert from LVM to VxVM
- Deport diskgroup from one platform and import on another
- Convert filesystem if different endian
There is a section on converting LVM to VxVM and using CDS to migrate between platforms in the SFHA solutions guide ,so see "Migrating data" section in
Whether Little or big endian is used I think depends on Architecture more than platform, so if HP-ux is on RISC and Linux is on Intel, you will have to convert, but if Linux and Hp-ux are both on the same Architecture, you may not need to convert filesystem.
