Veritas Storage Foundation Portable Data Containers: Cross-Platform Data Sharing 5.0.1 Administrators Guide, HP-UX 11i v3, First Edition, November 2009

To perform an ongoing migration
1
Use the following command to ensure that there are no files in the file system
that will be inaccessible after migrating the data due to large file size or to
differences in user or group ID between platforms:
# fscdsadm -v -t target mount_point
If such files exist, move the files to another file system or reduce the size of
the files.
2
Add the platform on the target_list file:
■ If migrating a file system between the Solaris and Linux, add SunOS and
Linux to the target_list file:
# fscdsadm -o add -t os_name=SunOS /mnt1
# fscdsadm -o add -t os_name=Linux /mnt1
■ If migrating a file system between the HP-UX and Linux, add HP-UX and
Linux to the target_list file:
# fscdsadm -o add -t os_name=HP-UX /mnt1
# fscdsadm -o add -t os_name=Linux /mnt1
3
Enforce the limits:
# fscdsadm -l enforce mount_point
This is the last of the preparation steps. When the file system is to be migrated,
it must be unmounted, and then the storage moved and mounted on the target
system.
4
Unmount the file system:
# umount mount_point
5
Make the file system suitable for use on the specified target.
See “Converting the byte order of a file system” on page 53.
6
Make the physical storage and Volume Manager logical storage accessible on
the target system by exporting the disk group from the source system and
importing the disk group on the target system after resolving any other
physical storage attachment issues.
See “Disk tasks” on page 31.
7
Mount the file system on the target system.
