There's no need for the second copy. Create the VG on the spare drive and |
| 8 |
copy everything over. Then you can reboot into the system. Now you can |
| 9 |
remove the old partitions from the main drive and create a single PV in |
| 10 |
the space freed (reboot after repartitioning to make sure you're using |
| 11 |
the new partition table. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
Then add the new PV to the VG you are using and use pvmove to transfer |
| 14 |
everything from the spare drive to the main one. You can use the system |
| 15 |
while doing this, so there is only half the downtime compared with doing |
| 16 |
two copies. |
