VERITAS Volume Manager 4.1 Migration Guide

Converting LVM to VxVM
Examples
Chapter 2 31
RECORDS neededs to convert= 399
MAXIMUM records allowable = 392
The smallest disk in the Volume Group (vg08) does not have
sufficient private space for the conversion to succeed. There
is only enough private space for 392 VM Database records and
the conversion of Volume Group (vg08) would require enough
space to allow 399 VxVM Database records. This would roughly
translate to needing an additional 896 bytes available in the
private space. This can be accomplished by reducing the number
of volumes in the (vg08) Volume Group, and allowing that for
every volume removed, the number of Database records required
would be reduced by three. This is only a rough approximation,
however.

Example: list, listvg, and vxprint outputs of an LVM volume group
before and after conversion
The examples given below, shows the vxvmconvert listvg, list, and vxprint output for an LVM
volume group vg08 converted to a VxVM disk group dg08.
Example of the vxvmconvert listvg output before conversion of volume group vg08:
LVM VOLUME GROUP INFORMATION
NAME TYPE PHYSICAL VOLUME
vg00 ROOT c0t5d0
vg08 Non-Root c0t8d0
vg09 Non-Root c0t9d0
Example of the vxvmconvert list output which shows the disk devices on a system:
DEVICE DISK GROUP STATUS
