I am running HP-UX rp4440 B.11.11 U 9000/800. I need to copy data from
2 logical volumes to other 2 or the whole volume group to another. all
of similar sizes. What command can I use?

Well, I used rsync with good success. Just create the new volume group(s)
and/or logical volumes. Then create empty filesystems. Then you rsync to
create a "mirror" ot the old filesystem.

vgcreate -e 8192 -p 64 -s 32 vgabc /dev/dsk/c1t5d0 /dev/dsk/c2t5d0
lvcreate -n lvabc -L 20000 /dev/vgabc
newfs -F vxfs /dev/vgabc/rlvabc
mount /dev/vgabc/lvabc /nabc
/usr/local/bin/rsync -avz --delete --inplace /oabc/ /nabc

Assuming /oabc contains your old filesystem, /nabc will be the new one.

Yours, Hans Martin.

(rsync can be obtained from the HP-UX Porting Centre http://hpux.connect.org.uk)

We've moved Terabytes around with cpio (most of our SAN Migrations).
cd dir
find ./ -depth -print |cpio -pdmuxv /mig/new_dir (with new_dir being
new mount point)

But you could use cp, dd or rsync as well. I do assume these are all
on the same server.
