Veritas 4.1 Installation Guide (HP-UX 11i v3, February 2007)

• Reorganizing Disk Group Content
This option is not supported with the VxVM 4.1 release on HP-UX 11i Version3.
• Upgrading Disk Group
All disk groups have a version number associated with them. Veritas Volume Manager
releases support a specific set of disk group versions. VxVM can import and perform
operations on a disk group of that version. The operations are limited by the features
supported by the specific disk group version.
The following table summarizes the VxVM releases and the supported disk group versions:
