Example:

old HDD = /dev/sdb
new HDD = /dev/sdc
(of course replace that with YOUR device)

Make sure, the new disk is equal or bigger in size then the old one!

Code
pvcreate /dev/sdc

Use

Code
pvscan

Code
pvdisplay

to see if the PV is created

Then add the newly created PV to the volumegroup (use vgdisplay to see the name of your volumegroup)

Code
vgextend [YOUR_VOLUMEGROUP] /dev/sdc

Now you have 2 HDD in your volumegroup, the old one and the new one.

Now it´s time to move the data completely to the new one:

Code
pvmove /dev/sdb

This will move all data of the old disk /dev/sdb to other disks in the volumegroup. You can specify the destination also, but there are only 2 disks....

Then you need to remove the old PV from the volumegroup:

Code
vgreduce [YOUR_VOLUMEGROUP] /dev/sdb

check if anything goes like expected and remove the old hdd from the server.

--The End--
