Hi,
I have been given the task to research converting our vxfs/vm file
systems and volumes to zfs. The volumes are attached to an EMC Clariion
running raid-5, and raid 1_0. I have no test machine, just a migration
machine that currently hosts other things. It is possible to setup a zfs
file system while vxfs/vm are still running and controlling other file
systems and volumes, or is it all or nothing. I searched many blogs and
web docs and cannot find the answer to this question.
I'm not quite sure what you're asking here: do you want to set up
zpools/zfs on the same disks as vxvm/vxfs is running on *while*
vxvm/vxfs is still running on them? that won't work.
If you're asking "can I set up zfs on free disks while vxvm is still set
up on others" I don't see why not. As long as there's no contention
around actual disks, there shouldn't be an issue here.
If you expand a bit on this, I'm sure our zfs experts can give you a
more precise answer than this :-)
