Restoring the LVM volume group configuration

If you need to restore the original LVM configuration, you must restore the user data in addition to restoring the old LVM metadata and associated configuration files.

Note:

The snapshot of LVM internal data is kept on the root file system. You must have backed up data located on all the volume groups' logical volumes before conversion to VxVM.

Restoration of LVM volume groups is a two-step process consisting of a restoration of LVM internal data (metadata and configuration files), and restoration of user or application data.
