Question : Problem: Move logical volumes to new EVA and bring up Oracle db's

We are getting a new EVA.  I am wondering if I can move the logical volumes and then bring my data bases, which are Oracle10g back up on the new EVA.  Need to put together a process and risk assessment of how to move all my data to new EVA, db servers remain the same.

I can see the file systems now.  And can read/write to what has been presented.  Trying to find a fast and low risk way of moving all the data as the old EVA will not be available after the cut over.

Thanks

Answer : Problem: Move logical volumes to new EVA and bring up Oracle db's

For moving datafiles from one volume or "mount point" to another, it is better to rename datafiles and then using OS commands move the datafiles to destination.

The steps are

1) First table the tablespace offline
SQL> alter tablespace app_data offline;

2) Rename datafiles
SQL> alter tablespace app_date rename datafile '/u01/oracle/U1/data01.dbf ' TO '/u02/oracle/U1/data04.dbf ' ;

3) Using OS commands move datafiles

4) Bring tablespace online
SQL> alter tablespace app_data online;
