How Solaris Volume Manager objects are mapped to VxVM objects

The following illustrations give examples of how the conversion process maps Solaris Volume Manager concat/stripe objects to VxVM objects. RAID-5 volumes and mirrors come through the conversion intact.

The partition becomes a simple volume under VxVM.

A number of one-partition Solaris Volume Manager stripes in a concat/stripe Solaris Volume Manager object shows a number of one-partition Solaris Volume Manager stripes in a concat/stripe Solaris Volume Manager object.

The stripes become a concat plex under VxVM.

A single Solaris Volume Manager stripe with any number of partitions in a concat/stripe Solaris Volume Manager object shows a single Solaris Volume Manager stripe with an arbitrary number of partitions in a concat/stripe Solaris Volume Manager object.
