vxvmconvert

[Mr Zer0]

Hi all,

Basically i want to convert a LVM volume group to VxVM disk group. I identified that vxvmconvert is the command to use for that. vxvmconvert is giving the following error in the analysis phase.

*********************************************

Select Volume Groups to analyze :
[,all,list,listvg,q,?] ov-dg

ov-dg

Analyze this Volume Group? [y,n,q,?] (default: y) y

The following disk has been found in the volume group
and will be analyzed for VxVM conversion.

c0t14d3

VxVM INFO V-5-2-841
To allow analysis, a new VxVM disk group, ov-dg, will be
fabricated and the disk device c0t14d3 will be added to the
disk group with the disk name ov-dg01.

Use the default disk layout for the disk? [y,n,q,?] (default: y) y

VxVM ERROR V-5-2-806
The analysis operation failed with the following error:

VxVM vxlvmencap ERROR V-5-2-1960
It is not possible to convert c0t14d3, for the following reason:
VxVM vxhpcap ERROR V-5-1-0 c0t0d0: Cannot get dmpnode info errno=22

Hit RETURN to continue.


Second Stage Conversion Analysis of ov-dg

Analysis of ov-dg found sufficient Private Space for conversion


VxVM WARNING V-5-2-2227
Conversion Analysis of the following devices indicates that the
Volume Group is still in use, which may prevent the completion
of the conversion without having to reboot the system. You may
want to double check that none of the volumes in the volume
group are in use before continuing with the conversion.

[Mr Zer0]

Also i have data on these logical volumes. Will it be safe?

[Duncan Edmonstone]

What sort of storage are these disks on? I Vaguely remember problems with this when not having an up-to-date Array Support Library. I'd also check you have the latest VxVM command patch.

[Mr Zer0]

VxVm is of version 5.0
How do u check that u have the latest patches?

[Mr Zer0]

Storage is on EMC Symmetrix DMX 4. It supports VxVM 5.0

There is a warning about open volumes ..please make sure that you unmount all the filesystems which reside on the volumes.

If a database id running and using these volumes please stop the database.
