RAID Functionality)

To migrate /dev/md0:

1

.

Stop all applications that are using the existing md device.

2

.

If necessary, back up the application data residing on the md device.

3

.

If file systems have been mounted on the md device, unmount them.

4

.

Check the status of the md device.
Execute the following command to check the configuration of the md

device:

# cat /proc/mdstat

Personalities : [raid1]

md0 : active raid1 sdh1[0] sdi1[1]

5238528 blocks [2/2] [UU]

unused devices: <none>

Make sure that md0 : active and that SCSI devices are displayed.
If md0 : active is not displayed, activate the md device.

.

If you have already used a configuration file (/etc/mdadm.conf), back up

that file.
Execute the following command to back up that configuration file:

# cp -pr /etc/mdadm.conf /etc/mdadm.conf.backup

6

.

Execute the following command to create a configuration file:
Even if a configuration file had already been used in step 5, you still need

to create a configuration file so that the md device will be managed by

HDLM.

# echo "DEVICE /dev/sdh1 /dev/sdi1" >> /etc/mdadm.conf
