The preconvert utility analyzes the current Solaris Volume Manager configuration and builds a description for the new VxVM configuration. Preconvert does not make any changes to the Solaris Volume Manager configuration or to the host system. The description created by preconvert must be current with the state of the Solaris Volume Manager software when the conversion process starts or the process will fail. Always run preconvert again if you make any changes to the Solaris Volume Manager configuration.
Preconvert has no options and uses no arguments:
Messages from preconvert appear on the screen and in a file that is used by the showconvert utility.
WARNING errors are for your information only and require no changes to the Solaris Volume Manager configuration.
FATAL errors mean that the conversion process will fail unless you make changes to the Solaris Volume Manager configuration. A FATAL error does not stop preconvert from examining the rest of the Solaris Volume Manager configuration. FATAL errors that do not make sense may be related to earlier FATAL errors. Correct the earlier FATAL errors and run preconvert again to see if the later errors still exist.
The following are possible causes of FATAL errors:
The /etc/vfstab file contains incorrect entries.
