Use this operation to rollback from a conversion of an LVM Volume Group. This operation will tear down the VxVM disk group and recreate the LVM volume group in its original form. User data is untouched by rollback.


Caution  Caution    If the VxVM configuration has changed since the conversion you should NOT use this operation. See the section "Restoring the LVM Volume Group Configuration" for more information.

More than one Volume Group or pattern may be entered at the prompt. Here are some LVM Volume Group selection examples:
all:   Rollback all converted LVM Volume Groups

list:   list all disk devices
 vg_name:  a single LVM Volume Group, named vg_name
<pattern>:  for example  vg08 vg09 vg05
