VERITAS Volume Manager 3.1 Migration Guide

Converting LVM to VxVM
Examples
Chapter 248
RECORDS neededs to convert = 399
MAXIMUM records allowable= 392
The smallest disk in the Volume Group (vg08) does not
have
sufficient private space for the conversion to succeed.
There is
only enough private space for 392 VM Database records
and the
conversion of Volume Group (vg08) would require enough
space to
allow 399 VxVM Database records. This would roughly
translate to
needing an additional 896 bytes available in the private
space.
This can be accomplished by reducing the number of
volumes in
the (vg08) Volume Group, and allowing that for every
volume
removed, the number of Database records required would
be
reduced by three. This is only a rough approximation,
however.
