Converting a root disk

Converting a root disk

The following steps allow you to move only a root disk from Solaris Volume Manager control to VxVM control. Use this procedure whenever a mixed environment of VxVM and the Solaris Volume Manager software exists or if you want to move only the root disk from the Solaris Volume Manager software to VxVM.

Warning: You cannot use the conversion utilities in a mixed environment. Even if you move only the root disk from the Solaris Volume Manager software to VxVM, you cannot later use the conversion utilities to move other Solaris Volume Manager objects to Veritas Volume Manager.

To convert a root disk

Use the Solaris Volume Manager unencapsulation procedure to remove the root disk from Solaris Volume Manager control. See the Solaris Volume Manager documentation for details.
Create VxVM volumes from the partitions on the root disk by encapsulating the root disk.
See "Rootability" on page 114.
