Default Re: Will reducevg -d VG_NAME hdisk# destroy data ?

Thanks..

Can I run migratepv -l lvname hdisk1 hdisk2, with software /
applications running and open on the filesystem mounted on the lvname
listed above ? Or to all applications / software have to be shutdown
before I run the migratepv command listed..
