Encapsulation is done by the script /etc/init.d/vxvm-reconfig. This
handles a variety of things, some of which can only be handled during
a reboot, when everything is clean. If none of those things are going
on, you could run /etc/init.d/vxvm-reconfig. But, this script will
reboot your system automatically if you encapsulate a volume that is
in use, so be careful. Don't expect any sympathy from support if this
doesn't go well.
