The tasks in this category should be done or updated just before starting the conversion. Information from the tasks in this category must be current when the conversion starts.
Use the preconvert utility to analyze the Solaris Volume Manager configuration and build a description for the VxVM conversion. You can run preconvert multiple times as it makes no changes to the Solaris Volume Manager configuration or file systems.
Run the showconvert utility to interpret preconvert output into a readable format. The showconvert output flags where changes must be made in the Solaris Volume Manager configuration for the conversion process to succeed. After making changes, run preconvert and showconvert again before starting the conversion.
Make backups of everything needed to restore the Solaris Volume Manager configuration.
See "Setting up a Solaris Volume Manager configuration for conversion" on page 541.
