VERITAS Volume Manager 5.0 Migration Guide (September 2006)

39Converting LVM to VxVM
Examples
<pattern>:for example vg08 vg09 vg05
Select Volume Groups to convert :
[<pattern-list>,all,list,listvg,q,?] listvg
LVM VOLUME GROUP INFORMATION
NAME TYPE PHYSICAL VOLUME
vg00 ROOT c4t6d0
vg05 Non-Root c4t5d0
vg03 Non-Root c4t3d0 c4t2d0
vg08 Non-Root c4t8d0
Select Volume Groups to convert :
[<pattern-list>,all,list,listvg,q,?] vg08
vg08
Convert this Volume Group? [y,n,q,?] (default: y)
Name a new disk group [<group>,list,q,?] (default: dg08)
The following disk has been found in the vg08 volume group and
will be configured for conversion to a VxVM disk group.
c4t8d0
A new disk group dg08 will be created and the disk device c4t8d0
will be converted and added to the disk group with the disk
name dg0801.
The c4t8d0 disk has been configured for conversion.
The first stage of the conversion operation has completed
successfully. If you commit to the changes hereafter, the
system will attempt to unmount all of the associated file
systems, stop and export each Volume Group, and then attempt to
complete the conversion without having to reboot the system. If
we are unable to stop and export any of the Volume Groups, then
the conversion process will not be able to complete without a
reboot. You would then be given the choice to either abort the
conversion, or finish the conversion by rebooting the system.
The conversion process will update the /etc/fstab file so that
volume devices are used to mount the file systems on this disk
device. You will need to update any other references such as
backup scripts, databases, or manually created swap devices. If
you do not like the default names chosen for the corresponding
logical volumes, you may change these to whatever you like
using vxedit.
