A Conversion Error Messages
This appendix lists the error messages that may be encountered during
conversion of LVM volume groups to VxVM disk groups and volumes. It
describes what the problem is and how to troubleshoot it.
Some of the error messages you may encounter during conversion are:
• Message - vxdiskadm or vxvmconvert is already being run.
• Message - Too many LVM Volumes to convert in this LVM Volume
Group.
• Message - vgchange: Couldn't deactivate volume group /dev/ vol_grp .
• Message - Analysis shows that there is insufficient private space
available to convert this volume group.
• Message - Analysis indicates that this volume group cannot be
converted because not all of the disks and/or volumes in the LVM
volume group are currently accessible.
• Message - The conversion process was unable to deactivate the
volume group vol_grp_name . The conversion cannot proceed
without reboots being done. If you choose to not reboot your system,
the conversion will be aborted.
• Message - This Volume Group contains one or more logical volumes
with mirrored data. Conversion of this Volume Group requires that
the VxVM package on your system be enabled for mirroring. This
system does not appear to have VxVM mirroring enabled. Please
check your installation and licensing of VxVM before attempting a
conversion of this Volume Group.
• Message - Device device_name has the following bad blocks:... Cannot
convert LVM Volume Group, vgXX.
Message vxdiskadm or vxvmconvert is already being run.

run and these programs cannot run concurrently.
Please retry this at a later time.
