46 Converting LVM to VxVM
Non-interactive conversion of volume groups
Converting volume groups to disk groups
The vxautoconvert utility converts one or more LVM volume groups to VxVM
disk groups. Any LVM extent-based striped volumes are converted to
stripe-mirror (non-layered) VxVM volumes.
Note: The VxVM configuration daemon (vxconfigd) must be running in order
for the conversion to succeed.
Conversion of the root volume group is not permitted. An error results if this is
attempted.
To convert volume groups to disk groups
◆ Run the vxautoconvert command:
# /usr/sbin/vxautoconvert [-f] [ vgname ...]
The volume groups may be specified by their names or full pathnames. If no
volume groups are specified, conversion of all volume groups on the system
is attempted.
If the value of the system tunable,
nproc, is too low, the analysis will report
that the conversion of the volume groups cannot be performed in parallel.
In that case, you can use the
-f option to specify that the volume groups are
to be converted one at a time.
See the
vxautoconvert(1M) manual page.
