4.3 Transition raw data disk
In this section a migration of raw disk attached to a standalone AIX server to a
Virtual I/O Server managed partition is described. The migrated disk must be a
SAN disk since as was stated earlier. A physical move of a SCSI disk is hardware
specific. As per this procedure, you must map one or more (depending on how
much data there is and how it is organized on the source storage) of the same
SAN LUNs to both the standalone machine and the Virtual I/O Server.
On the standalone source host
On the standalone source host:
1. Select the raw SAN disk that will be migrated. The lscfg command output
below shows us that hdisk8 is a SAN disk. The file pattern.txt was then
created as test data and was written to the raw disk using the dd command:
# lscfg -vl hdisk8
