Install RAID1 with LVM partitions
I would like to introduce RAID 1 in my system with LVM partitions without loss of data, of course. The system may be rebooted as many times as necessary. I will install a second disk with exactly the same characteristics as the one already installed. I am using SLES 11 SP4.
The system is partitioned like this: Quote:
Thanks in advance. |
LVM can do its own mirroring (a/k/a RAID1). You can add your second disk as PV in your existing VG then use lvconvert to convert the individual LVs to mirrors.
|
Newer versions can even do RAID1 rather than simple mirroring, but I would doubt SLES 11 has it.
Ask SUSE as you no doubt have a support contract. |
I had written couple of memos that suits for you:
Mirroring Linux system disk Redundant disks without MDRAID |
Thank you
