VxVm 3.5 - decreasing size of swapvol on encapsulated root disk

Hi Folks,

On a V480 with Solaris 9 and 16Gb RAM, I'm trying to decrease the size of
swapvol from 22Gb to 16Gb.
If I try
# vxresize -g rootdg swapvol 16384m
I get
vxvm:vxresize: ERROR: resizing volume other than FSGEN or RAID5 can result
in loss of data. Use -f option to force resize this volume.
I tried with the -f option: it didn't complain, but it didn't do it either.

Any idea how this can be accomplished?
(even better without rebooting or going to single user mode?)

I will summarize

Thanks in advance
