3.1.2 Matrix Server Administration Guide

Chapter 5: Configure the SAN 60

Deport SAN Disks

Deporting a disk removes it from matrix control. The /dev/psd device

nodes are removed and the original /dev entries are re-enabled.

You cannot deport a disk that contains a mounted filesystem or a

membership partition. Also, disks configured in a dynamic volume

cannot be deported. (You will need to destroy the dynamic volume and

then deport the disk.)

To deport a disk from the Management Console, select Storage > Disk >

Deport or click the Deport icon on the toolbar. The Deport Disks window,

which appears next, lists all SAN disks that have been imported into the

matrix. (You can resize the columns as necessary to view all of the

information.) Select the disks that you want to deport from this window.

To deport a disk from the command line, use the following command:

mx disk deport <uuid> ...

To determine the uuid for the disk, use the mx disk status --imported

command. In the following example,

20:00:00:04:cf:20:de:3b::0 is

the UUID.

# mx disk status --imported

DISK 20:00:00:04:cf:20:de:3b::0 10.12.1.241:13 35843685KB
