Veritas Storage Foundation 5.1 SP1 Advanced Features Administrator"s Guide (5900-1503, April 2011)

AVAILABLE sector bytes = 50176
RECORDS neededs to convert= 399
MAXIMUM records allowable = 392
The smallest disk in the Volume Group (vg08) does not have
sufficient private space for the conversion to succeed. There is
only enough private space for 392 VM Database records and the
conversion of Volume Group (vg08) would require enough space to
allow 399 VxVM Database records. This would roughly translate to
needing an additional 896 bytes available in the private space.
This can be accomplished by reducing the number of volumes in
the (vg08) Volume Group, and allowing that for every volume
removed, the number of Database records required would be
reduced by three. This is only a rough approximation, however.
Hit RETURN to continue.
Example: list, listvg, and vxprint outputs of an LVM volume
group before and after conversion
The examples below show the vxvmconvert listvg, list, and vxprint output
for an LVM volume group vg08 converted to a VxVM disk group dg08.
Example of vxvmconvert listvg output before conversion of volume group
