Thanks. I have so many notes and pdf's describing steps using LVM, but with veritas, cant find enough materials. However I found the below link at veritas support site.

I would like to know if anybody used this steps in a production environment and were there any issues.

Thanks again

Urs procedure is good.....

I used
http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/257060.htm

with lil difference as vxrootmir was not working (donno why)

I manually mirrorred volumes, make sure u mirror them one-by-one as /stand, / and swap should be continuous.

It would work like charm.

hi anidil,

you can use vxdiskadm, the easiest way to replace disk in VxVM.

First, Select option 4 to remove the disk for replacement.

then, select option 5 to replace the removed disk.
