VERITAS Volume Manager 4.1 Migration Guide

Converting LVM to VxVM
Examples
Chapter 2 29
Use this operation to convert one or more LVM Volume Groups to one
or more VxVM disk groups. This adds the disks to a disk group
and replaces existing partitions with volumes. LVM-VxVM Volume
Group conversion may require a reboot for the changes to take
effect. For this release, only Non-root LVM Volume Groups are
allowed
to be converted.
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 convert :
[<pattern-list>,all,list,listvg,q,?] listvg
LVM VOLUME GROUP INFORMATION

vg00 ROOT c4t6d0
vg05 Non-Root c4t5d0
