  • Moving RHEL 6 to new HDD, EFI and LVM2 questions

    Posted on

    Hello everyone,

     

    one year ago I installed RHEL6 on one HDD. This was my first RHEL installation, so I did not spent so much time on partitioning and so on. The partition table looks like this:

     

    sda1: /boot/efi; 200MB

    sda2: /boot; 200MB

    tmpfs: /dev/shm: 50GB

    LVM2:

    /dev/mapper/lv_root: 50GB

    /dev/mapper/lv_home 50GB

     

    Now I want to change the HDD.

    I have done that some times using "dd" or "cp -ax" and fitting the partitions and so on.

     

    - But how to deal with /boot/efi? can I just dd or cp it?

    - And what about the LVM? dd the partitions themselfs or the whole LVM?

     

    With best,

     

    Mario
