I need a sample symconfigure script for converting STD to BCV.
we have some symdevs mapped to pair of FAs , I want to convert them into BCV. I need a sample symconfigure script to run to convert their attribute to BCV from std. They are R7 meta devs. I do not want to change their mapping.

When adding/removing BCV attributes, there are no restrictions on I/O.
So it seems that you don't need to unmap.
If you want to convert a RAID5 (7+1) volume to a RAID5-BCV you need to use:
convert dev 075C to BCV+R-5;
Please remember that a RAID5 BCV is a lot different froma "real" BCV.

oh nice ..is SE 6.4 the only requirement, or do you have to be on code 72 as well ?
