To import dynamic volumes from the command line, first use the following command
to list the dynamic volumes that can be imported:
mx dynvolume list --importable
Locate the entry for the <volumeGUID> that you want to import. (The <volumeGUID>
appears in the first column of the output.) Then use the following command to import
the volume, specifying the <volumeGUID>.
mx dynvolume import <volumeGUID> ...
Unimported volumes
An unimported volume is a dynamic volume that does not have a psv binding. Instead,
it is identified by its GUID, such as 8a61bb5c-88ac-48c2-97c5-6e9c04817a5,
which was generated when the volume was created. Unimported volumes are either
importable or unimportable.
The following command lists all unimported volumes:
mx dynvolume list --unimported
Importable volumes
All of the constituent parts for the volume are accessible, and the volume can be
reassembled into a dynamic volume when it is imported into the cluster. These volumes
are listed as IMPORTABLE on the Import Dynamic Volume window and can be
displayed with this command:
mx dynvolume list --importable
Unimportable volumes
An unimportable volume cannot be reassembled into a dynamic volume, and cannot
be imported into the cluster. The following command displays the status of volumes
that cannot be imported:
mx dynvolume list --unimportable
The status will be Duplicate, Truncated, or Incomplete.
Duplicate. The volume cannot be reassembled because more than one physical device
matched a logical subdevice specification. Potential causes of this problem are:
• Both sides of a mirror were exposed (that is, lunmasked) to the cluster.
• One of the devices is a snapclone of the other.
• One of devices is a disk copy or block-level backup/copy of the other.
