VERITAS Volume Manager 4.1 Migration Guide

Converting LVM to VxVM
Examples
Chapter 230
c4t8d0
A new disk group dg08 will be created and the disk device c4t8d0
will be converted and added to the disk group with the disk
name dg0801.
The c4t8d0 disk has been configured for conversion.
The first stage of the conversion operation has completed
successfully. If you commit to the changes hereafter, the
system will attempt to unmount all of the associated file
systems, stop and export each Volume Group, and then attempt to
complete the conversion without having to reboot the system. If
we are unable to stop and export any of the Volume Groups, then
the conversion process will not be able to complete without a
reboot. You would then be given the choice to either abort the
conversion, or finish the conversion by rebooting the system.
The conversion process will update the /etc/fstab file so that
volume devices are used to mount the file systems on this disk
device. You will need to update any other references such as
backup scripts, databases, or manually created swap devices. If
you do not like the default names chosen for the corresponding
logical volumes, you may change these to whatever you like
using vxedit.
