Chapter 5 229
Destroying a Disk Group
The vxdg command provides a destroy option that removes a disk group
from the system and frees the disks in that disk group for reinitialization
so they can be used in other disk groups. Remove disk groups that are
not needed with the vxdg destroy command so that the disks can be
used by other disk groups. To remove unnecessary disk groups, use the
following command:
# vxdg destroy diskgroup
The vxdg deport command can still be used to make disks inaccessible.
The Volume Manager prevents disks in a deported disk group from being
used in other disk groups.
