How long to convert LVM to VxVM
We need to convert a VG of 38 PV and 500 GB of data to VxVM in order to set up a CFS Cluster.
As the operation requires a downtime, we need to evaluate the time the conversion would take. Does anyone have a clue about how to guesstimate it ?
Thanks for your help.

Re: How long to convert LVM to VxVM
Alternatively you can look in to the vxvmconvert utility. Search on the HP site for the "Veritas volume manager migration guide hp-ux". The VXVM 3.5 version is here

Re: How long to convert LVM to VxVM
I would suggest scripting as much of this as possible.
doing it in a test environment and using the keyboard logs, or creative use of awk could be a real time saver.
CFS Cluster requires vxVM?
I like LVM better and would not do this conversion unless forced.

Re: How long to convert LVM to VxVM
Thanks for you answer.
I plan to use vxvmconvert, and this is the point : does it take a long time to convert from LVM to VxVM ?
CFS does require VxVM to my knowledge, does it not !? It is from Veritas.
Thanks.
