Command Differences

This chapter describes the differences between LVM and VxVM commands, and tasks. It includes a task comparison chart which lists some of the tasks performed using LVM with a near equivalent task performed using VxVM. It also provides a list of VxVM tasks which are not available with LVM, and the LVM features currently not supported in VxVM. The following topics are discussed in this chapter:

• LVM and VxVM Command Equivalents
• Comparison of LVM and VxVM Tasks
• Tasks With No Direct LVM Equivalents
• Existing Features in LVM not supported in VxVM

For more information on LVM commands, refer to HP-UX Managing Systems and Workgroups, and LVM manual pages in HP-UX Reference Volumes 2,3, and 5. For information on VxVM commands, refer to the VERITAS Volume Manager documentation (see the Preface).
