How to change the TYPE of the disk from "simple" to other type :

corniche# vxdisk list
DEVICE TYPE DISK GROUP STATUS
c1t15d0 simple - - LVM
c3t15d0 simple disk01 rootdg online
c5t0d1 simple - - online
c5t0d2 simple - - online
c5t0d3 simple - - online
c5t0d4 simple - - online

Expected sample :
-----------------
# vxdisk list
DEVICE TYPE DISK GROUP STATUS
c0t0d0s2 auto:LVM - - LVM
c0t1d0 auto:LVM - - LVM
c0t2d0 auto:cdsdisk vxdg01 vxdg online
c14t0d1 auto:LVM - - LVM
c14t0d2 auto:FS_wholedisk - - FS_wholedisk
c14t0d3s2 auto - - error
c14t0d4s2 auto - - error
