hello,
I have a question relating to Volume Manager & O/S upgrade.
To perform the O/S upgrade I need to unencapsulate the system disk. the problem
I face is that over time the /var and /opt partitions have been extended
and now span two physical volumes so I cannot unencapsulate the disk.
Is it possible to create a mirror disk with predefined sub-disks
of sufficient size to hold my /var & /opt filesystems and then create the
mirror. This "resized" disk now becomes my boot disk.
I can then unencapsulate this disk and perform the upgrade.
Any other thoughts on how to upgrade in this situation would be most welcome.

If you ever get anywhere with this, let me know too. We are also trying to
get a plan together for our Veritas 2.5.x to 3.x upgrade, and this is one
area where we have a hole. I've got to believe that lots of others have already
invented this wheel. That, or this is one of the big "taboo" sublects that
nobody talks about.
