NAME

vollvmencap, vol-lvm-reconfig − Encapsulate LVM volume groups

SYNOPSIS

/usr/sbin/vollvmencap [ -g diskgroup ] [ -p volprefix ] { lvmvgname }

/usr/sbin/vollvmencap -k [ lvmvgname | -a ]

/sbin/vol-lvm-reconfig

DESCRIPTION

Note that Digital plans to retire the Logical Volume Manager in a future release of the operating system.  For information about the replacement disk storage management product, called the Logical Storage Manager, please refer to the DEC OSF/1 Logical Storage Manager guide. 

The encapsulation process adds LVM physical volumes and LVM logical volumes in a LVM volume group specified by lvmvgname to a LSM disk group. Each LVM volume is mapped to a LSM volume in the target disk group. vollvmencap generates the necessary LSM commands to convert all LVM volumes to LSM volumes. In the case of LVM volumes that contain file systems, the entries in /etc/fstab are modified to use the new LSM volume devices. 

You execute the command scripts created by vollvmencap by running vol-lvm-reconfig. vol-lvm-reconfig needs to be run manually after all LVM volume groups have been encapsulated using vollvmencap. 

Refer to the Logical Storage Manager for more information about the encapsulation process. 

FLAGS

−g diskgroup
Place the encapsulated LVM volume group into the disk group specified by disk group name. The disk group specified should be an existing disk group.

−p volprefix
This option tells the command to use the volprefix specified as the prefix for LSM volume names. This is useful if the LSM volume names chosen by vollvmencap already exists. Also, LSM volume names are limited to 14 characters and this option can be used to create smaller LSM volume names. 

-kThis option tells the command to remove any previous encapsulation command for the given LVM volume group name. If the -a  option was given, encapsulation commands for all LVM Volume Groups that have been generated up until now are removed.
