NAME
  pvmove - Moves allocated physical extents from one physical volume to one
  or more other physical volumes

SYNOPSIS
  /usr/sbin/pvmove [-n LogicalVolumeName] SourcePhysicalVolumePath
       [DestinationPhysicalVolumePath ...]

DESCRIPTION
				     Note

       This command is no longer supported on Digital UNIX systems.
       Features formerly provided by the Logical Volume Manager (LVM)
       are now provided by the Logical Storage Manager (LSM).  Existing
       LVM volumes must be migrated to LSM, using an encapsulation
       process.	 For information about moving LVM volumes to LSM, see
       the vollvmencap(8) reference page and the manual Logical Storage
       Manager.


  The pvmove command moves allocated physical extents and the data they
  contain from the source physical volume, SourcePhysicalVolumePath, to one
  or more other physical volumes.  To limit the transfer to specific physical
  volumes, specify the names of one or more physical volumes with the
  DestinationPhysicalVolumePath parameter.  If you do not specify the
  destination volume(s), all of the physical volumes in the volume group are
  available as destination volumes for the transfer.  All physical volumes
  must be within the same volume group.	 You must not include the
  SourcePhysicalVolumePath in the list of DestinationPhysicalVolumePath
  parameters.

  The pvmove command will succeed only if there is enough space on the
  DestinationPhysicalVolumePath to hold all the extents of the
  SourcePhysicalVolumePath.

FLAGS
  -n LogicalVolumeName
	    Moves only the physical extents allocated to the logical volume
	    (specified with the LogicalVolumeName parameter) and located on
	    the source physical volume (specified with the
	    SourcePhysicalVolumePath parameter) to the specified destination
	    physical volume.

EXAMPLES
  This section contains Digital device-specific examples.

   1.  To move physical extents from rz1c to rz6c and rz7c, enter:
	    pvmove /dev/rz1c  /dev/rz6c	 /dev/rz7c
       The program moves the physical extents from one physical volume to two
       others within the same volume group.

   2.  To move physical extents in logical volume lv02 from rz1c to rz6c,
       enter:
	    pvmove -n /dev/vg01/lv02  /dev/rz1c	 /dev/rz6c

       Only those physical extents contained in lv02 are moved from one
       physical volume to another.
