VERITAS Volume Manager 4.1 Migration Guide

Chapter 3 49
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"
• "Comparison of LVM and VxVM Tasks"
• "Tasks With No Direct LVM Equivalents"
• "Existing Features in LVM not supported in VxVM"
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).
