Solved!
Go to Solutionsan copy with Linux
what is the best process to san copy a linux Volume group containing LVs.
present the new san copy disk
carry out the san copy process
the san copy Lun will now contain the san copied data but the volume group will be pointing to the old disk. how do we address this?
thanks for the quick reply
The server will reman the same only the Lun will be on the new array.
Do i have to make the OS aware of the new Lun before the san copy - I dont think I do?
so san copy the to the new lun in the new array.
export the old vg (old disk) and import the new vg same new but with the new (disk)?

1) shutdown application
2) unmount file system
3) export VG
4) remove host from source array storage group (or whatever you are copying data from)
4) start San Copy session (full or incremental ..depends on how you set it up)
5) wait for san copy session to finish
6) add host to the storage group on target array
7) reboot
8) import VG
