clone disk group
Greetings, I need to migrate disk groups between hosts. The current aging server runs vxvm 5.x on solaris 10. The proposed work loads are to be taken on by a combination of Solaris 11 and Solaris 10 logocal domains, split between application and database. I'm not using vcs only vxvm. Thevxvm version on the new platform is 7.1. Due to limitations on the storage arrays, i cannot create clones on the array and map them to the new host. Does vxvm have a cloning mechanism ? Is there is a better approach to migrate the data across different vxvm versions and maintain a point of failback. I would like to maintain the the diskgroups separately until the cutover.
