Making a Disk Available for Hot-Relocation Use
Free space is used automatically by hot-relocation in case spare space is not sufficient to
relocatefailedsubdisks. You canlimitthis freespace usagebyhot-relocationbyspecifying
which free disks should not be touched by hot-relocation. If a disk was previously
excluded from hot-relocation use, you can undo the exclusion and add the disk back to
the hot-relocation pool.
To make a disk available for hot-relocation use, use the following command:
# vxedit -g disk_group set nohotuse=off diskname
Alternatively, using vxdiskadm:
1. Select menu item 16 (Make a disk available for hot-relocation use)
from the vxdiskadm main menu.
2. At the following prompt, enter the disk name (such as disk01):
Menu: VolumeManager/Disk/UnmarkSpareDisk
Use this operation to make a disk available for hot-relocation
use. This only applies to disks that were previously excluded
from hot-relocation use. This operation takes, as input, a disk
name. This is the same name that you gave to the disk when you
added the disk to the disk group.
Enter disk name [<disk>,list,q,?] disk01
