3 Command Differences
This chapter describes the differences between LVM and VxVM
commands, and tasks. It includes a task comparison chart which lists
some of the tasks performed using LVM with a near equivalent task
performed using VxVM. It also provides a list of VxVM tasks which are
not available with LVM, and the LVM features currently not supported
in VxVM. The following topics are discussed in this chapter:
• “LVM and VxVM Command Equivalents”
• “Comparison of LVM and VxVM Tasks”
• “Tasks With No Direct LVM Equivalents”
• “Existing Features in LVM not supported in VxVM”
For more information on LVM commands, refer to the HP-UX document,
Managing Systems and Workgroups, and LVM manual pages in HP-UX
Reference Volumes 2,3, and 5. For information on VxVM commands, refer
to the VERITAS Volume Manager documentation (see the 'Preface' ).
