The first thing you will want to do is see if there is an APM or ASL available for SVC for your version of VxVM.

The extra packages will be the SVC APMs/ASLs. Once these are installed, the VxVM should see that the LUNs already have the requisite Volume Manager configuration information on them and import them. > Can someone help me in suggesting me run through the steps to be > followed for this activity without loosing the data and the setup, > because its a production box. * Locate and install any available SVC APMs/ASLs * Reboot the host * Assuming all goes well, VxVM should import the target LUNs and change the DEVICE entries from EMC_CLARiiON to whatever the DEVICE naming scheme for SVC LUNs is. * Were you using default disk naming, you might want to edit the VxVM objects to reflect the change in the LUN DEVICE names. It looks like you won't need this step.
