Chapter 4. Importing existing VDO volumes to LVM
You can import a VDO volume that was created by the VDO manager into LVM. As a result, you can manage the volume as a logical volume using the LVM tools.
Note
The import operation is not reversible. After converting an existing VDO volume to LVM, accessing the VDO data is only possible using the LVM commands and the VDO manager no longer controls the volume.
Prerequisites
- Install the VDO software. For more information, see Installing VDO.
Procedure
Convert an existing VDO volume created by the VDO manager into a logical volume. In the following command, replace vg-name with the volume group name, lv-name with the logical volume name, and /dev/sdg1 with the VDO device:
