Veritas Volume Manager 5.0.1 Migration Guide, HP-UX 11i v3, First Edition, November 2009

To unmount a file system, use the following command:
# umount file-system
Conversion and reboot
During conversion, after the analysis phase is complete, the disks to be converted
are deemed to be conversion ready. The vxvmconvert program asks if you are
ready to commit to the conversion changes. If you choose to complete the
conversion, the system will try to unmount all of the associated mounted file
systems, stop and export the volume group, and then install the VxVM
configuration.
If vxvmconvert is unable to stop and export volume groups or unmount file
systems, the conversion cannot be completed without rebooting the system. You
will have the option of aborting the conversion or completing the conversion by
rebooting the system. If you choose to reboot, vxvmconvert will trigger the
completion of the conversion automatically, during reboot, when it can be
guaranteed that no processes have access to the volumes that are being converted.
If you choose to abort rather than reboot to complete the conversion, vxvmconvert
will return to the main menu.
Note: The LVM logical volumes to be converted must all be available to the
vxvmconvert process. You should not deactivate the volume group or any logical
volumes before running vxvmconvert.
To activate a volume group
If you are not certain if the LVM volumes or the corresponding volume groups
are active, you can activate them with the following command:
# vgchange -a y vol_grp_name
Converting a volume group
To do the actual conversion of LVM volume groups to VxVM disk groups, choose
option 2 of the vxvmconvert utility.
vxvmconvert will prompt for a name for the VxVM disk group that will be created
to replace the LVM volume group you are converting. This is the only object
naming that is done through vxvmconvert. Additional details are available on
modifying VxVM volume names.
See “Tailoring your VxVM configuration” on page 33.
