Veritas Volume Manager 5.0.1 Administrator's Guide, HP-UX 11i v3, First Edition, November 2009

See “Permitted relayout transformations” on page 341.
For example, the following command changes the concatenated volume vol02,
in disk group mydg, to a striped volume. By default, the striped volume has 2
columns and a 64 KB striped unit size.:
# vxassist -g mydg relayout vol02 layout=stripe
Sometimes, you may need to perform a relayout on a plex rather than on a volume.
See “Specifying a plex for relayout” on page 345.
