Hi Amit:

No. From the Veritas Volume Manager Administaration guide:

/* begin_quote */

encapsulation - A process that converts
existing partitions on a specified disk to
volumes. Encapsulation does not apply to
HP-UX.

/* end_quote */

Amit,

This document should explain to you what is root disk encapsulation, is the term given if you are using vxvm in hp-ux to initialized a disk.

Amit,

The step by step procedures are all documented in the VxVM Documentation at:

http://docs.hp.com/en/oshpux11i.html#VxVM

On HP-UX, the term is not encapsulation but "rootability"... And HP-UX has the best seamless integration amongst the UNICES. It's been integrated and rootability supported since Sep. 2002.

HTH...
