Moving Disks

To move a disk between disk groups, remove the disk from one disk

group and add it to the other. For example, to move the physical disk

c0t3d0 (attached with the disk name disk04) from disk group rootdg

and add it to disk group mktdg, use the following commands:

# vxdg rmdisk disk04

# vxdg -g mktdg adddisk mktdg02=c0

t3d0

NOTE This procedure does not save the conﬁgurations or data on the disks.

You can also move a disk by using the vxdiskadm command. Select item

3 (Remove a disk) from the main menu, and then select item 1 (Add

or initialize a disk).
