vxvm migrate

[ousor]

Hi,

If i like to live migrate an vxvm volume from an SAN to other SAN,using mirroring,then does not matters if we have RAID 5 under the source logical volume and the target volume is linear.right?Later on we could convert the linear volume to other RAID volume.right?

Please where i could find vxvm free or as trial to install on linux or solaris(x86).tnx a million.

Hi,

Yes you can migrate, vxvm will do as what you direct it to do ..

You have option to add mirror in vxassist command, you can provide specific options here or as you rightly mentioned, later you can convert volumes.

vxrelayout can be used to convert volume layouts .. do read out the man page for details
