I did what you're asking about: convert (by copying) a non-LVM, 2 minidisk (/ and /usr) SLES9 31-bit to turn it into a SLES9 guest that has a non-LVM root-boot partition with the rest of its partitions and dasd given to LVM. (Everyone has rightly scared me out of putting the whole thing onto LVM because rescuing an all-LVM guest is much harder.)
I'll throw together a quick outline of the steps and post them here this afternoon ... -------------------------------------------------------- This e-mail, including any attachments, may be confidential, privileged or otherwise legally protected.

We aren't using logicial volumes. We would like to copy this installation to a logical volume with 9 dasd. What is the recommended way of doing this? Or is it necessary to do a new install?
