VERITAS Volume Manager 5.0 Migration Guide (September 2006)

Chapter

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.
