Hi,

I try to migrate AIX 5.3 from a local to a SAN disk
for a new machine

machine1:
hdisk0 (34GB)
hdisk1 (34GB)
I changed copies =1 in /image.data

machine2:
hdisk (72GB)
restore mksysb
OK

alt_disk:
hdisk2 (SAN:34GB)
KO with the problem below

The following link provides a description how to migrate the rootvg to
another disk. I have used this method several times to migrate from
an internal disk drive to an EMC SAN volume.

Search for "Migrating the contents of a physical volume"

You may also be albe to restore the mksysb contents directly to the
EMC volume if you are running version 5.3, technology level 5, service
pack 5 or later (it will not work with earlier versions). You need to
have your SAN engineer verify that the EMC volume that you want to use
as a boot volume is a standard volume. You cannot use a BCV volume as
a boot volume.
