Warning:

Do not use nopriv disks to encapsulate a root disk. If insufficient free space exists on the root disk for the private region, part of the swap area can be used instead.

To create a nopriv disk for encapsulation

If it does not exist already, set up a partition on the disk for the area that you want to access using VxVM.
Use the following command to map a VM disk to the partition:
```
# vxdisk define partition-device type=nopriv
```
where partition-device is the basename of the device in the /dev/dsk directory.

For example, to map partition 3 of disk device c0t4d0, use the following command:
```
# vxdisk define c0t4d0s3 type=nopriv
```
