original subdevice; you can use the Extend Volume option to add other
subdevices to the dynamic volume.
NOTE: The new dynamic volume is unstriped. It is not possible to add
striping to a converted dynamic volume. If you want to use
striping, you will need to recreate the volume.
To convert a basic volume, select the associated PSFS filesystem on the
Filesystems tab of the HP CFS Management Console, right-click, and
select Convert to Dynamic Volume. A warning then appears, stating that
HP Clustered File System must unmount the filesystem, which will close
any open files. Also, any unsaved information will be lost. When you
click Yes to continue with the conversion, the following dialog appears.
NOTE: The filesystem is unmounted after you click OK or Apply on the
dialog.
To convert a basic volume to a dynamic volume at the Command Prompt,
use the following command:
mx dynvolume convert <filesystem>
