Can you introduce these new PV's into the existing VG's? Then do an mklvcopy to the new PV's. Then do an rmlvcopy off the old PVs. I like this way, as you don't have to take down the VG's. It's transparent to the users, except maybe speed issues.

Subject: Migrating to new SSA's
Hello AIX-ers,
I have a B-80 running AIX 4.3.3-10. Rootvg is on mirrored SCSI drives, delvg is a volume group comprised of a drawer of 4.3 GB drives that is going away. I recently installed a new D40 drawer of 18 GB drives which will be on a new volume group because of their size.
My question is: Is their an easy/clean way to migrate all the data and apps to the new drives while keeping the same logical volume names and filesystems?
Thanks,
