c8t8d0
To allow analysis, a new VxVM disk group, dg08, will be
fabricated
and the disk device c4t8d0 will be added to the disk
group with
the disk name dg0801.
The c4t8d0 disk has been configured for conversion.
The first stage of the Analysis process has completed
successfully.
Second Stage Conversion Analysis of vg08
Analysis of vg08 found sufficient Private Space for
conversion
Conversion Analysis of c4t8d0 indicates that the Volume
Group is
still in use, which may prevent the completion of the
conversion
without having to reboot the system. You may want to
double
check that none of the volumes in the volume group are in
use
before continuing with the conversion.
