About VxVM volumes as paging devices

Starting with VxVM 5.1SP1, you can use VxVM volumes as secondary swap devices in AIX. The native LVM paging commands now take a suffix of -t vxvm to work with VxVM volumes.

To operate VxVM volumes as secondary paging devices, specify the -t vxvm option with the LVM commands such as mkps, chps, lsps, and rmps.

Note:

LVM secondary swap volumes can be converted to VxVM swap volumes. For more information about converting LVM volumes to VxVM volumes, see the Storage Foundation and High Availability Solutions Solutions Guide.
