Splitting a CDS disk group
You can use the vxdg split command to create a CDS disk group from an existing
CDS disk group. The new (target) disk group preserves the setting of the CDS
attribuet and alignment in the original (source) disk group.
Note: The command to split disk groups is not supported for the Solaris OS on the
x64 platform.

■ Use the vxdg split command to split CDS disk groups.
See the Veritas Volume Manager Adminstrator’s Guide.
Moving objects between CDS disk groups and non-CDS disk groups
The alignment of a source non-CDS disk group must be 8K to allow objects to be
moved to a target CDS disk group. If objects are moved from a CDS disk group to
a target non-CDS disk group with an alignment of 1, the alignment of the target
disk group remains unchanged.
Note: The command to move objects between disk groups is not supported for the
Solaris OS on the x64 platform.
