As for the split operation, a data pool is created in the target disk group if no data

pool currently exists there.

Adding disks to a storage pool

To add one or more initialized disks to the storage pool, use the following command

definition:

# vxpool [-g diskgroup] adddisk storage_pool \

dm=dm1[,dm2,...]

The following example shows two disks, mydg04 and mydg05, being added to the

storage pool, mypool:

# vxpool -g mydg adddisk mypool dm=mydg04,mydg05

Any disks that you add to a storage pool must have already been initialized for

use, and must belong to the same disk group as the storage pool.

If a storage pool’s autogrow policy is set to diskgroup, ISP automatically brings

additional disks from the disk group into the storage pool as required.

Removing disks from a storage pool

To remove one or more disks from the storage pool, use the following command

definition:

# vxpool [-g diskgroup] rmdisk storage_pool dm=dm1[,dm2...]

In the following example, the disks, mydg01 and mydg04, are removed from the

storage pool, ReliablePool, for use elsewhere:

# vxpool -g mydg rmdisk ReliablePool dm=mydg01,mydg04

You cannot remove a disk from a storage pool if any volumes are configured on

that disk. To remove such a disk, first use the vxassist evacuate command to

move the volumes away from the disk. When you have done this, you can then

remove the disk from the storage pool.
