[EXTERNAL EMAIL] Adao,
You might be able to do something clever with LVM Mirroring; ie. mirror your root VG logical volumes to a multipath device, then un-mirror them from the single-path device. Not sure what you do with /boot, though, should work to copy the partition.. You’ll need to make the appropriate configuration changes as well (/etc/fstab for instance). You might also need to do something with multipath and the initial RAM Disk to make sure that the boot and root partitions/volumes can be recognised and understood at boot time, as well. To be fair, though, this doesn’t sound like a Poweredge-specific issue, and you should probably engage your OS vendor support organisation for this.

[EXTERNAL EMAIL] Hello, Our servers have multiple HBAs. We now have multipath storage available and would like to reconfigure the system to take advantage of the additional paths. How can this be done? The system was configured to boot from SAN, we don’t have disks on the servers. During OS installation root lvm/filesystem were created using sub paths: /dev/sdxx Is it possible to migrate from single path /dev/sdxx to device-mapper-multipath devices viz. /dev/mapper/mpathX after OS installation?? $ lvs_-a_-o_devices LV VG Attr LSize Devices LogVol00 rootvg -wi-ao 6.00G /dev/sdbt2(0) <--- root lvm volume created using underlying sub path LogVol01 rootvg -wi-ao 10.00G /dev/sdbt2(352) LogVol02 rootvg -wi-ao 5.00G /dev/sdbt2(674) Thanks, AF ************************************************************************************************************************************** CAUTION: This email originated from outside the organisation.
