VERITAS Volume Manager 3.5 Migration Guide (September 2004)

Chapter 3

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” on page 38

• “Comparison of LVM and VxVM Tasks” on page 42

• “Tasks With No Direct LVM Equivalents” on page 50

• “Existing Features in LVM not supported in VxVM” on page 52

For more information on LVM commands, refer to HP-UX 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” on page iii).
