Preface

This guide describes how to migrate from HP-UX Logical Volume Manager (LVM) to VERITAS Volume Manager (VxVM) and convert disks and volumes managed by LVM to VxVM. It includes information on differences between VxVM and LVM commands and terminology. This Guide also discusses the use of both graphical user interfaces: VERITAS Enterprise Administrator (VEA), the Volume Manager GUI, and SAM (System Administration Manager), the Logical Volume Manager GUI.

This Guide assumes:

• A basic understanding of system administration
• Familiarity with HP-UX Logical Volume Manager and related concepts
• A working knowledge of the HP-UX operating system
