Upgrading disk group versions
• Upgrading disk group versions
All disk groups have a version number associated with them. Each VxVM release
supports a specific set of disk group versions, and can import and perform tasks on disk
groups with those versions. Some new features and tasks work only on disk groups with
the current disk group versions; so you need to upgrade existing disk groups before you
can perform the tasks.
The following table summarizes the disk group versions that correspond to each VxVM
release from 3.5 onward:
You can use the following command to find out the version number of a disk group:
# vxdg list diskgroup
You can also determine the disk group version by using the vxprint (1M) command with
the -l format option.
To upgrade a disk group, use the following command:
# vxdg [-T version] upgrade diskgroup
Unless a disk group version is specified, this command upgrades the disk group to the
highest version supported by the VxVM version on your system.
For shared disk groups, the latest disk group version is only supported by the latest
cluster protocol version.
