The available plex home-01 will be used to recover the

data.

This message contains information about the subdisk before relocation

Volume home Subdisk disk02-03 relocated to disk05-01,

but not yet recovered.

Before you move any relocated subdisks, ﬁx or replace the disk that

failed (as described in previous sections). Once this is done, move a

relocated subdisk back to the original disk. For example, to move the

relocated subdisk disk05-01 back to disk02, use the following

command:

# vxassist -g rootdg move home !disk05 disk02

NOTE During subdisk move operations, RAID-5 volumes are not redundant.

Step 1. Select menu item 14 (Unrelocate subdisks back to a disk)

from the vxdiskadm main menu.

Step 2. Enter the name of the disk where the hot-relocated subdisks originally

resided at the following prompt:

Enter the original disk name [<disk>,list,q,?]
