Thank you Mark! Now I have been able to migrate the LVM-disk! The trick was to skip the Yast and do a manually "vgchange -a y".
So this is how I did a succesfull migrate of a LVM-disk from SLES8 to SLES10 In SLES8 I have created three disks. I used the -ff option as they were created before in my test: pvcreate -ff /dev/dasd/0154/part1 /dev/dasd/0155/part1 /dev/dasd/0156/part1 I created the VolumeGroup vgnew1: vgcreate vgnew1 /dev/dasd/0154/part1 /dev/dasd/0155/part1 /dev/dasd/0156/part1 Use the vgdisplay so see the result Use the lvcreate to create the logical volumes, in this sample there is three disk (-i 3) and the size is 60M: lvcreate -i 3 -I 8 -L 60M -n data1 vgnew1 Use lvscan to have a look mke2fs -b 4096 /dev/vgnew1/data1 mount /dev/vgnew1/data1 /slask2 mount -l - shows that the type is ext2 umount /slask2 Deactivate the vgnew1 vgchange -an vgnew1 vgexport vgnew1 Now shutdown the SLES8 and start the SLES10.... cslinux03:~ # lvscan Volume group "test" is exported Volume group "vgnew1" is exported cslinux03:~ # pvscan PV /dev/dasdl1 VG test lvm2 [24.00 MB / 8.00 MB free] PV /dev/dasdm1 VG test lvm2 [24.00 MB / 24.00 MB free] PV /dev/dasdn1 VG test lvm2 [24.00 MB / 24.00 MB free] PV /dev/dasdi1 is in exported VG vgnew1 [20.00 MB / 0 free] PV /dev/dasdj1 is in exported VG vgnew1 [20.00 MB / 0 free] PV /dev/dasdk1 is in exported VG vgnew1 [20.00 MB / 0 free] Total: 6 [132.00 MB] / in use: 6 [132.00 MB] / in no VG: 0 [0 ] cslinux03:~ # vgscan Reading all physical volumes.
