35Converting LVM to VxVM
Examples
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 analyze: [<pattern
list>,all,list,listvg,q,?] vg08
Name a new disk group [<group>,list,q,?] (default: dg08)
Each volume group will be analyzed one at a time. If there are
any in this list that you do not want to analyze, you can either
abort now or wait until a later time when you will be given an
opportunity to skip the analysis of any group(s) in this list.
The following disk has been found in the vg08 volume group and
will
be analyzed for VxVM conversion.
disk12
To allow analysis, a new VxVM disk group, dg08, will be
fabricated and the disk device disk12 will be added to the disk
group with the disk name dg0801.
The disk12 disk has been configured for conversion.
The first stage of the Analysis process has completed
successfully.
Second Stage Conversion Analysis of vg08
Analysis of vg08 found sufficient Private Space for conversion
Conversion Analysis of disk12 indicates that the Volume Group is
still in use, which may prevent the completion of the conversion
without having to reboot the system. You may want to double
check that none of the volumes in the volume group are in use
before continuing with the conversion.
Volume Group Analysis Completed
