Menu: VolumeManager/LVM_Conversion/Convert_LVM_VGs
Use this operation to convert one or more LVM Volume Groups to
one or more VxVM disk groups. This adds the disks to a disk group
and replaces existing partitions with volumes. LVM-VxVM Volume
Group conversion may require a reboot for the changes to take
effect. For this release, only Non-root LVM Volume Groups are
allowed to be converted.
More than one Volume Group or pattern may be entered at the
prompt.
Here are some LVM Volume Group selection examples:
all: analyze all LVM Volume Groups (all except Root VG)
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
