The Collection phase runs on the system to be converted. To create a consistent file system image, ensure that the system is as quiet as possible and that all applications are stopped. The ldmp2v command creates a backup of all mounted UFS file systems, so ensure that any file systems to be moved to a logical domain are mounted. You can exclude mounted file systems that you do not want to move, such as file systems on SAN storage or file systems that will be moved by other means. Use the –x option to exclude such file systems. File systems that are excluded by the –x option are not re-created on the guest domain. You can use the –O option to exclude files and directories.
No changes are required on the source system. The only requirement is the ldmp2v script that was installed on the control domain. Ensure that the flarcreate utility is present on the source system.
