svm

[Sunsparc]

greetings,

Hesitantly we have agreed to migrate from VXVM to SVM. Current platform is Solaris 10 U 6 running VXVM 5MP3. The storage is going to be migrated from one array provider to another with that we are going to have separate new disks which should be brought under the control of SVM. I need to direction and pointers to achieve this. Root disks are under the control of SVM.

I am not aware of any conversion tool.

Seems you will have to rely on OS commands to copy data from one filesystem to the other.

Use tar, cpio or ufsdump.

tar ‑cBf ‑ subdir | (cd /other_dir ; tar ‑xBf ‑ )

find  .  ‑print | cpio ‑o | (cd /other_dir ; cpio ‑idv)

ufsdump 0f  -  /dev/rdsk/c#t0d#s# | (cd  /other_dir; ufsrestore  xf  -)

Agree, don't believe there is any tool for direct conversion ... backup & restore is the way to move ahead. .
