Hi

Here is some comaprisons ..

LVM and VxVM Comparisons

LVM VxVM
â ¢ Volume Group Disk Group
â ¢ Physical Volume Volume Manager disk
â ¢ Physical extents subdisks
â ¢ Logical Volume Volume
â ¢ Mirrors Plexes ( Mirrors)
â ¢ LVM metadata Private Region
â ¢ Vgexport Deport
â ¢ Vgimport import
A disk can belong to Only one group. But a group consist of a collection of disks.
In VxVM , you associate a VxVM disk with a device. This lever of abstraction , provides an easy method to change device names, for ex: disk media name of disk01 Device name c0t4d0

Command Comparisons

Physical Disk

LVM : pvcreate â f /dev/rdsk/disk_name
VxVM : vxdisk â f init /dev/dsk/disk_name
Disk Group
LVM : vgcreate vg01 /dev/dsk/disk_name
VxVM : vxdg init rootdg
LVM : vgextend vg01 /dev/dsk/disk_name
VxVM : vxdg â g rootdg adddisk disk1=devicename
Logical Volume
LVM : lvcreate â L vol_size /dev/vg01 /dev/vg01
VxVm : vxassist make vol_name length

Displays
LVM : vgdisplay â v /dev/vg
VxVM : vgprint â g disk_group
LVM : lvdisplay /dev/vg01/lvol_name
VxVM : vxprint â ht vol_name
