Chapter 7: Configure Dynamic Volumes 63
Convert a Basic Volume to a Dynamic
Volume
If you have PSFS filesystems that were created directly on an imported
disk partition or LUN (a basic volume), you can convert the basic volume
to a dynamic volume. The new dynamic volume will contain only the
original subdevice; you can use the Extend Volume option to add other
subdevices to the dynamic volume.
NOTE: The new dynamic volume is unstriped. It is not possible to add
striping to a converted dynamic volume. If you want to use
striping, you will need to recreate the volume.
To convert a basic volume, select the associated PSFS filesystem on the
HP CFS Management Console, right-click, and select Convert to Dynamic
Volume. A warning then appears, stating that HP Clustered File System
must unmount the filesystem, which will close any open files. Also, any
unsaved information will be lost. When you click Yes to continue with the
conversion, the following dialog appears.
NOTE: The filesystem is unmounted after you click OK or Apply on the
dialog.
