This issue has been solved. See solution.

Hi

I had one root disk which was not under vxvm 3.5 control.
I have just added the disk under Vxvm 3.5 control i.e encapsulate the root disk.
Now How should I create rootvol and swapvol so that system should boot from rootvol.

Thanks

How did you go about to

How did you go about to encapsulate the boot disk?

If you used vxdiskadm menu (option 2) to encapsulate it would have prompted for a reboot and convert the volumes during the boot process. /etc/vfstab is also updated.
It would've done another reboot to boot from the rootvol and swapvol.

I cannot refer you to online manuals, since VxVM 3.5 is no longer supported.
