HP-UX 11i v3 LVM Volume Group Migration

• Operation on volume group "/dev/vg01" could not succeed as physical
volume "/dev/disk/disk132" cannot be accessed. If the physical volume
is detached, use pvchange(1M) or vgchange(1M) to re-attach before this
operation.
When the source or destination disks are not available, vgmove fails.
• Cannot move physical volume /dev/disk/disk132. Failure possibly caused
by strict allocation policy. The vgmove command failed.
This message is displayed when vgmove fails to migrate the volume group. This might be because
the volume group has mirrored volumes and it cannot be accomadated in the destination disks. Or
there are logical volumes with a strict allocation policy on source disk and the destination disks
cannot honor that policy.
• Physical volume "/dev/disk/disk85" does not belong to volume group
"/dev/vg01".
The source disk does not belong to the volume group being migrated.
• The volume group "/dev/vg01" is not active. Only an active volume group
can be extended.
The volume group is in a deactivated state. A volume group must be activated to perform volume
group migration.
• The volume group "/dev/vg01" is active in Shared Mode. Cannot perform
configuration change.
The vgmove command was invoked on a Version 1.0 or 2.0 shared volume groups. The vgmove
command is supported on Version 2.1 or above shared volume groups.
• Destination disks do not contain enough space. vgmove: The vgmove
command failed.
The destination disk does not have enough space to migrate all the logical volumes in a source
disk. You must increase the destination disk size.
• At least one destination physical volume must be specified.
No destination disk was specified in the diskmap file.
