Re: Veritas blues
If this is the first installation, you need to configure it first. Check the url that I refer to you on previous.

# cat /etc/vx/reconfig.d/state.d/install-db
# vxinstall
VxVM uses license keys to control access. If you have not yet installed
a VxVM license key on your system, you will need to do so if you want
to use the full functionality of the product.
Licensing information:
System host ID: 383457852
Host type: 9000/800/rp3410
Are you prepared to enter a license key [y,n,q,?] (default: n) n
Volume Manager Installation
Menu: VolumeManager/Install
VxVM will use the following format to name disks on the host:
In the above format,
to which the disk belongs. VxVM assigns default enclosure names which can
be changed according to the user requirements.
Some examples would be:
hitachi0_2 - second disk detected in enclosure 'hitachi0'
enggdept_2 - second disk detected in enclosure 'enggdept'
dgc1_1 - first disk detected in enclosure 'dgc1'
jbod_1 - first disk detected in the jbod category
For non-public loop disks (Ex. FC disks directly connected to the host
or through hubs), you could choose to use the c#t#d#s# naming format.
Do you want to use enclosure based names for all disks ?

Volume Manager Installation

The Volume Manager has detected the following categories of storage

Hit RETURN to continue.

You will now be asked if you wish to use Quick Installation or
Custom Installation. Custom Installation allows you to select how
the Volume Manager will handle the installation of each disk
attached to your system.
Quick Installation examines each disk attached to your system and
attempts to create volumes for all non-LVM and non-root disks.
If you want to exclude any devices from being seen by VxVM or not
be multipathed by vxdmp then use the Prevent multipathing/Suppress
devices from VxVM's view option, before you choose Custom Installation
or Quick Installation.
If you do not wish to use some disks with the Volume Manager, or if
you wish to reinitialize some disks, use the Custom Installation
option Otherwise, we suggest that you use the Quick Installation
option.
Hit RETURN to continue.

Re: Veritas blues
I don't think it is possible what you are doing. Maybe i'm wrong and the 3.5 version has an option for converting lvm root disks into a rootdg.

Re: Veritas blues
Thanks again, I am trying to add a spare disk (unused) c2t1d0 to VxVM. I have some trobule with Symmetrix disk c9t0d0. for adding c2t1d0, I tried # vxvmconvert and it hangs again. Not sure what the problem is...
