Dear expects

Can anyone assist me on above problem? I founded some of lv/fileystem not in synchronized or mirrored from hdisk0 to hdisk1. This could be happen the application vendor created file system after mirroring process already performed.So i believe file system created after mirrored WONT be mirror to hdisk1 right? i have tried to initiate "syncvg rootvg" or "syncvg -p hidsk0 hdisk1" nothing worked out .Can anyone please explain how to sync so both hdisk mirror equally ?

If you need to mirror your fslvXX then you'll need to do that with the mklvcopy command first. Once you've done that for all those FS's that aren't mirrored then you'll do the syncvg to get the rootvg sync'd.

mklvcopy lvname 2 hdisk to make the copy to

Read the man page on the mklvcopy command before proceeding. Just so you'll be familiar with it first.

Dear alethad
Thank you for the feedback.im affraid not able to do thath because currently i have 6GB space under rootvg ,so its not possible to me mklvcopy since space required less then current.I plan to user 2 more unused pv by creating datavg and copy all the unmonitored lv from rootvg(mirrored with hdisk0 and hdisk2) to datavg(unmonitored hdisk3).

Can anyone tell me what is the steps involved for above process?
if i copy lv from rootvg to datavg can i mount the filesystem? how about the jfslogs ?do i need to create new jfslogs lv under new datavg ?

pls help

chandru0078,
You should be able to use the migratepv command. Run the man page on it. I've looked at it to see if there is an issue with migrating between VG's. I don't see that as a limitation. I've used it it before and I'm sure I could migrate between VG's but it's been a long time since I've used it. Sorry for the memory bubble.

Otherwise you'll have to do it as Kappa says or you will have to re-create your filesystems from scratch and put them in the new datavg.

Good luck.

Do you only have internal SCSI disks?
Put all of them into rootvg (extendvg rootvg hdisk5 hdisk6),
then simply say mirrorvg rootvg.
You also have maximum flexibility for solving future disk hotspots,
because you can move any FS (from disk to disk) during operation.

Sorry, migratepv uses LVM mirroring and thus works inside VGs only.
Only cplv allows inter-VG data migration.
Moreover, AIX Mirroring works on LVs, not on PVs.
