Select an operation to perform: 1
Analyze one or more LVM Volume Groups
Menu: Volume Manager/LVM_Conversion/Analyze_LVM_VGs
Use this operation to analyze one or more LVM volume
groups for
possible conversion using the VxVM Volume Manager. This
operation checks for problems that would prevent the
conversion
from completing successfully. It calculates the space
required
to add the volume groups disks to a Volume Manager disk
group,
and to replace any existing partitions and volumes with
Volume
Manager volumes, plexes, and sub-disks.
More than one volume group or pattern may be entered at
the prompt.
Here are some LVM volume group selection examples :
all:analyze all LVM Volume Groups (all except Root VG)
listvg:list all LVM Volume Groups
list:list all disk devices
vg_name:a single LVM Volume Group, named vg_name
<pattern>:for example vg08 vg09 vg05
Select volume groups to analyze: [<pattern
list>,all,list,listvg,q,?] vg08
Name a new disk group [<group>,list,q,?] (default: dg08)
Each volume group will be analyzed one at a time. If
there are any
in this list that you do not want to analyze, you can
either
abort now or wait until a later time when you will be
given an
opportunity to skip the analysis of any group(s) in this
list.
The following disk has been found in the vg08 volume
group and will
be analyzed for VxVM conversion.
