Re: convert VxVM disks to LVM?
Just run pvcreate, vgcreate, lvcreate, etc. - that should be all there is to it.

Re: convert VxVM disks to LVM?
or the quick way (only if you're sure those VxVM disks ARE NOT in use elsewhere:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rdsk/cXtYdZ bs=1024 count=10
Then you can do your usual pvcreate, vgextend... etc.

Re: convert VxVM disks to LVM?
The normal process of creating an LVM volume group will bring the disks into LVM.

Re: convert VxVM disks to LVM?
Once LVM VGs are converted to VxVM *AND* new volumes (lvols) in VxVM added or resized, then you can no longer revert back to LVM using said tool.

Re: convert VxVM disks to LVM?
usgleuxfn01# pvcreate /dev/rdsk/c7t4d0
pvcreate: Could not perform LVM operation on VxVM disk "/dev/rdsk/c7t4d0".
usgleuxfn01# pvcreate -f /dev/rdsk/c7t4d0
pvcreate: Could not perform LVM operation on VxVM disk "/dev/rdsk/c7t4d0".
Any other thoughts?

Re: convert VxVM disks to LVM?
that means /dev/zero >> /dev/rdsk/cXtYdZ won't work.
that means vxconvert doesn't exist.
"just pvcreating" the disks gives :
usgleuxfn01# pvcreate /dev/rdsk/c7t4d0
pvcreate: Could not perform LVM operation on VxVM disk "/dev/rdsk/c7t4d0".
usgleuxfn01# pvcreate -f /dev/rdsk/c7t4d0
pvcreate: Could not perform LVM operation on VxVM disk "/dev/rdsk/c7t4d0".
any other thoughts?
