LVM VOLUME GROUP INFORMATION
NAME VERSION TYPE PHYSICAL VOLUME

vg08
Convert this Volume Group? [y,n,q,?] (default: y)
Name a new disk group [<group>,list,q,?] (default: dg08)
The following disk has been found in the vg08 volume group and
will be configured for conversion to a VxVM disk group.
disk12
A new disk group dg08 will be created and the disk device disk12
will be converted and added to the disk group with the disk name
dg0801.
The disk12 disk has been configured for conversion.
The first stage of the conversion operation has completed
successfully. If you commit to the changes hereafter, the system
will attempt to umount all of the associated file systems, stop
and export each Volume Group, and then attempt to complete the
conversion without having to reboot the system. If we are unable
to stop and export any of the Volume Groups, then the conversion
process will not be able to complete without a reboot.You would
then be given the choice to either abort the conversion, or
finish the conversion by rebooting the system.
