Let's create LVM group (/dev/sda) and filesystem on it:
[root@centos54 OpenMigrator]# pvs

This filesystem will be automatically checked every 25 mounts or

[root@centos54 OpenMigrator]# mkdir /test1_migr
[root@centos54 OpenMigrator]# mount /dev/testvg/test1lv /test1_migr
[root@centos54 OpenMigrator]# df -k /test1_migr

/dev/mapper/testvg-testlv
495844 10544 459700 3% /test_migr
Let' put some files to new filesystem.
[root@centos54 OpenMigrator]# rsync -a /usr/lib/* /test1_migr/
[root@centos54 OpenMigrator]# df -k /test1_migr/
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/testvg-testlv
495844 453553 16691 97% /test1_migr
[root@centos54 OpenMigrator]#
Let's create another lvm volume and create filesystem:
....
[root@centos54 OpenMigrator]# df -k /test2_migr
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/testvg-test2lv
495844 10544 459700 3% /test2_migr
Current configuration is as follows:
[root@centos54 OpenMigrator]# pvs
PV VG Fmt Attr PSize PFree
/dev/hda2 rootvg lvm2 a- 7.89G 20.00M
/dev/sda testvg lvm2 a- 2.00G 1.02G
/dev/sdb lvm2 -- 2.00G 2.00G
[root@centos54 OpenMigrator]# lvs testvg
LV VG Attr LSize Origin Snap% Move Log Copy% Convert
test1lv testvg -wi-a- 500.00M
test2lv testvg -wi-ao 500.00M
It is recommended to migrate LVM volumes instead of disks. Whole lun migration can occur in PVS duplication and in this case we migrate two volumes of 500MB each instead of one 2GB lun, which is more efficient.
Migrating the whole disc does not change current data placement, but does not allow to perform any reconfigurations (lun size change, placement, disk size etc).
Let's create new volumes, it is required to migrate all volumes in a group to it is better to create a script that does it automatically:
[root@centos54 OpenMigrator]# pvcreate /dev/sdb
Physical volume "/dev/sdb" successfully created
[root@centos54 OpenMigrator]# vgcreate destvg /dev/sdb
Volume group "destvg" successfully created
[root@centos54 OpenMigrator]# lvs testvg|grep testvg|awk '{printf "lvcreate -L %s -n %s destvg\n",$NF,$1}'|sh
Logical volume "test1lv" created
Logical volume "test2lv" created
[root@centos54 OpenMigrator]# lvs
LV VG Attr LSize Origin Snap% Move Log Copy% Convert
test1lv destvg -wi-a- 500.00M
test2lv destvg -wi-a- 500.00M
rootlv rootvg -wi-ao 7.38G
swaplv rootvg -wi-ao 512.00M
test1lv testvg -wi-a- 500.00M
test2lv testvg -wi-ao 500.00M
Now we must create file with source/target pairs:
[root@centos54 OpenMigrator]# lvs testvg|grep testvg|awk '{printf "/dev/testvg/%s\t/dev/destvg/%s\n",$1,$1}' > file_session.txt
[root@centos54 OpenMigrator]# cat file_session.txt
/dev/testvg/test1lv /dev/destvg/test1lv
/dev/testvg/test2lv /dev/destvg/test2lv
And create copy session - this is just a definition, no copy process is started:
[root@centos54 OpenMigrator]# stormigrate create -session testmigr -file file_session.txt
Let's check what is the current status:
[root@centos54 OpenMigrator]# stormigrate show -session testmigr
MB

---------------------------------- --------- ----------------------------------
/dev/testvg/test1lv 500 /dev/destvg/test1lv

Session Name: testmigr
Session State: Inactive
Action Plan: N/A
Task States: N/A
Number of Pairs: 2
Total Source Size: 1000 MB
Now we can activate session, which means to establish a relationship between source and destination:
[root@centos54 OpenMigrator]# stormigrate query -session testmigr

Current Task n Rate n MB
Source Target Action State c MB/s % e Left

Total Source Size: 1000 MB
System I/O Processing: PASSTHRU

Time: 23:03:03
Destination volumes are now opened by kernel, but still no copying was started:
[root@centos54 OpenMigrator]# lvs destvg
LV VG Attr LSize Origin Snap% Move Log Copy% Convert
test1lv destvg -wi-ao 500.00M
test2lv destvg -wi-ao 500.00M
Let's start the copy process:
[root@centos54 OpenMigrator]# stormigrate copy -session testmigr
[root@centos54 OpenMigrator]# stormigrate query -session testmigr
S D
y o
Current Task n Rate n MB

Action Plan: Copy
Task States: Running
Number of Pairs: 2
Total Source Size: 1000 MB
System I/O Processing: MIRRORING
Target Devices State: NR
Time: 23:05:11
Let's verify the status of migration:
[root@centos54 OpenMigrator]# stormigrate verify -session testmigr
The volume pair has not completed the Copy operation.
Copy process tuning considerations:
Based on stormigrate query it is clear that copy Rate is 1MB.
root@centos54 OpenMigrator]# stormigrate query -session testmigr
S D
y o
Current Task n Rate n MB
Source Target Action State c MB/s % e Left
----------------------- ----------------------- -------- ----- - ---- --- -----
/dev/testvg/test1lv /dev/destvg/test1lv Copy Run N 1 0 500
/dev/testvg/test2lv /dev/destvg/test2lv Copy Run N 1 0 500
We can speed it up:
[root@centos54 OpenMigrator]# stormigrate tune -ceiling 10

[root@centos54 OpenMigrator]# stormigrate verify -session testmigr
All of the volume pairs have completed the Copy operation.
Procedure to switch to new volumes is as follows:
1. Stop application and unmount original filesystems
[root@centos54 OpenMigrator]# umount /test1_migr/
[root@centos54 OpenMigrator]# umount /test2_migr/
2. Deactivate migration process.
[root@centos54 OpenMigrator]# stormigrate deactivate -session testmigr
[root@centos54 OpenMigrator]# lvs
LV VG Attr LSize Origin Snap% Move Log Copy% Convert
test1lv destvg -wi-a- 500.00M
test2lv destvg -wi-a- 500.00M

swaplv rootvg -wi-ao 512.00M
test1lv testvg -wi-a- 500.00M
test2lv testvg -wi-a- 500.00M
All source end target volumes are not opened.
3. Change the name of source and destination group
[root@centos54 OpenMigrator]# vgchange -an testvg
0 logical volume(s) in volume group "testvg" now active
[root@centos54 OpenMigrator]# vgchange -an destvg
0 logical volume(s) in volume group "destvg" now active
[root@centos54 OpenMigrator]# vgrename testvg oldvg
Volume group "testvg" successfully renamed to "oldvg"
[root@centos54 OpenMigrator]# vgrename destvg testvg

4. Activate new volumes and mount filesystem from new location
[root@centos54 OpenMigrator]# vgchange -ae testvg
2 logical volume(s) in volume group "testvg" now active
Some checking:
[root@centos54 OpenMigrator]# pvs

5. Clenup
[root@centos54 OpenMigrator]# stormigrate cleanup
WARNING: Cleanup will delete all the defined sessions
Are you sure you want to cleanup the configuration[Y/N]?y
The configuration was removed successfully
[root@centos54 OpenMigrator]# stormigrate list

Finally it is possible to remove old volume group and disks from host.
