3.5.1 Matrix Server Administration Guide

Chapter 5: Configure the SAN 68

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.

You can also deport disks from the Disk Info window, which matches

local disk names with the disk names that Matrix Server uses. See

“Display Local Disk Information” on page 69.

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

mx disk deport <uuid> ...

To determine the uuid for the disk, run mx disk status --imported. 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
