Changing LVM logical volume names in HP-UX is extremely simple: enter into the appropriate volume group directory, and rename both the logical volume file (typically starting with lv) as well as the raw logical volume file (which normally begins with rlv). When both files are renamed appropriately, you are done.
Changing a volume group name is not as easy – not hard, just not as easy. First, you should vgexport the volume group (using the -m option to create a map):
# vgexport -m /opt/vg.map -s vgmine
This deletes the volume group completely from LVM records and from the /dev filesystem tree. It does not, however, change data on the disk – the logical volumes and associated filesystem data are preserved.
Having done this, recreate the volume group with the new name and use vgimport:
# mkdir /dev/vgnew
# mknod /dev/vgnew/group c 64 0x070000
# vgimport -m /opt/vg.map -s /dev/vgnew
This should then import the volume group, and give it the same logical volume names as before. Without the map, the logical volumes would still be present and accounted for and with all data preserved – but the names would be default names (lvol1, lvol2, etc.).
It always makes we wish they had the vgrename command like Linux.
Excellent guys ut worked but i still need to hide the bas super block sector how cam i do this
