Before you transition your Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 6 DMMP device, you must verify that it is not part of a Logical Volume Manager (LVM) and that it does not have a file system.
Steps
-
Gather pretransition information from the Inventory Assessment Workbook.
-
Verify that the DMMP device exists in the
/dev/mapper
directory:ls /dev/mapper/ DMMP_device_name
If the DMMP device is not displayed, the device might be using an alias or a user-friendly name.
-
Determine whether the DMMP device is part of an LVM and whether the DMMP device has a file system:
blkid
If the DMMP device is not part of an LVM and has no file system the device entry should not be displayed in blkidoutput.
