Overview of the conversion process

The conversion utilities allow you to do most of the preparation before starting the conversion, and before disrupting your system. To take advantage of this feature, read this entire manual and be familiar with the required tasks before starting the conversion from the Solaris Volume Manager configuration to VxVM.

The conversion utilities perform the following tasks:

• Planning and preparing for conversion.

  See "Plan and prepare for the conversion" on page 536.

• Set up the conversion.

  See "Set up the conversion" on page 536.

• Convert the volumes.

  See "Set up the conversion" on page 536.

• Perform post conversion cleanup tasks.

  See "Perform the conversion" on page 537.
