Hi all. I've got a small cluster of machines, still running etch, using the redhat-cluster tools and cluster-LVM to share access to a fibre-channel disk array. I'm preparing to replace the disk array with a new/better/shinier one, but am running in to trouble with the migration of data from the old array to the new one. The plan is to use vgextent to add the capacity of the new array to the existing volume group, then use pvmove to migrate the physical extents associated with the existing logical volumes to the new physical device. Up through vgextend, this has all gone well, but pvmove is failing like this:
pvmove -n /dev/xenvg/imprimatur_cache /dev/sdb /dev/sdc Error locking on node tig-hyperc-1: Internal lvm error, check syslog Failed to activate imprimatur_cache syslog contains: Jan 7 09:31:57 tig-hyperc-1 lvm[3028]: Couldn't find device with uuid 'NeyE2O-CPSF-tP9v-kK5G-8g02-nTsw-M8Ls5U'.
