VxVM Rootability
With the September 2002 release of HP-UX 11i v1, you can choose to
manage your root volume using either HP’s Logical Volume Manager
(LVM) or VERITAS Volume Manager (VxVM) 3.5.
You can choose to configure your root volume during installation with
Ignite-UX, or you can use the conversion tools installed with VxVM 3.5 to
configure your root volume at a later time. For more information, please
read the VERITAS Volume Manager 3.5 Installation Guide for more
details.
NOTE You can not configure your root volume with VxVM during the update
process using the update-ux command. Instead, you must use the
cold-install process using Ignite-UX to enable rootability.
IMPORTANT Before you consider setting your root volume to VxVM 3.5, be sure to
read the VERITAS Volume Manager 3.5 Release Notes and the VERITAS
Volume Manager 3.5 Migration Guide for more detailed information
about VxVM and rootability
