Converting from sliced to cds is possible using the vxcdsconvert command but there is no direct command to convert cds disk to sliced disk.
One work around is to evacuate the existing data to a new device which is initialized as sliced disk.
Here is an example on how to evacuate data from cds disk to sliced disk.
Example:
Initialized one device as cdsdisk and one device as sliced:
---------------
c3t50060E80004372C0d6s2 auto:sliced - - online
c3t50060E80004372C0d17s2 auto:cdsdisk - - online
---------------
Create a disk group with cdsdisk:
---------------
# vxdg init mixdg cds_disk01=c3t50060E80004372C0d17s2
# vxdisk -g mixdg list
DEVICE TYPE DISK GROUP STATUS
c3t50060E80004372C0d17s2 auto:cdsdisk cds_disk01 mixdg online <======
---------------
Create volumes and files on mixdg disk group
---------------
# vxassist -g mixdg maxsize
Maximum volume size: 1918976 (937Mb)
# vxassist -g mixdg make datavol 1918976
# mkfs -F vxfs /dev/vx/rdsk/mixdg/datavol
version 7 layout
1929216 sectors, 964608 blocks of size 1024, log size 16384 blocks
largefiles supported
---------------
Mount the filesystem and populate with data
---------------
# mount -F vxfs /dev/vx/dsk/mixdg/datavol /datavol
# df -k
Filesystem kbytes used avail capacity Mounted on
/dev/vx/dsk/mixdg/datavol
959488 174847 735831 20% /datavol
---------------
After creation of the cds diskgroup, the data needs to be 'evacuated' to a new sliced disk.
Important: Make sure there is equal or larger space on the new device compared to the current device.
To verify they have equal size, verify the public length
This is the original cdsdisk which has existing data and part of the diskgroup "mixdg"
---------------
# vxdisk list c3t50060E80004372C0d17s2
Device: c3t50060E80004372C0d17s2
devicetag: c3t50060E80004372C0d17
.
.
iosize: min=512 (bytes) max=2048 (blocks)
public: slice=2 offset=65792 len=1920000 disk_offset=0 <==== length is "1920000"
private: slice=2 offset=256 len=65536 disk_offset=0
update: time=1273452460 seqno=0.7
ssb: actual_seqno=0.0
---------------
This is the new lun / it has same size as the existing cds disk
---------------
# vxdisk list c3t50060E80004372C0d6s2
Device: c3t50060E80004372C0d6s2
devicetag: c3t50060E80004372C0d6
.
.
version: 2.1
iosize: min=512 (bytes) max=2048 (blocks)
public: slice=4 offset=0 len=1920000 disk_offset=76800 <==== pub length is "1920000"
private: slice=3 offset=1 len=76799 disk_offset=0
update: time=1273451487 seqno=0.2
---------------
Add a new device with equal or larger size than the existing cds disk in the diskgroup
---------------
# vxdg -g mixdg adddisk sliced_disk01=c3t50060E80004372C0d6s2
VxVM vxdg ERROR V-5-1-6478 Device c3t50060E80004372C0d6s2 cannot be added to a CDS disk group
-- Error messages informs that the diskgroup cds attribute is "on".
-- Cannot add non-cds type when the cds=on.
Turn 'cds' off so a sliced format can be added to an existing cds disk group.
# vxdg -g mixdg set cds=off
Add the sliced disk to the diskgroup:
# vxdg -g mixdg adddisk sliced_disk01=c3t50060E80004372C0d6s2
# vxdisk -g mixdg list

All data is now in evacuated to the new device formatted as sliced.

Initialize the original device as sliced
---------------
# vxdisksetup -i c3t50060E80004372C0d17 format=sliced

NOTE: Make sure the publength is the same or the new disk where you will evacuate the data a has a higher publength size.
Add the disk back to the disk group
