Clearing Relocation Information for Dynamic Disk Groups
The Clear Hot Relocation Info command deletes the information that describes the
original location of any subdisks that have been hot relocated. Use this command if you
do not plan to move the subdisks back to their original configuration.
1. Right-click on a disk group that contains hot relocated subdisks.
2. Select Actions > Clear Hot Relocation Info.
3. A dialog box will appear asking if you are sure you want to clear the relocation
information on the dynamic disk group. Click Yes if you want to clear the hot
relocation information.
Caution Once you clear the Hot Relocation Information, you will not be able to perform
an Undo Hot Relocation on that dynamic disk group.
Customizing Disks for Hot Relocation
You can customize your disks in the following ways:
◆ Specify individual disks to act as Hot Spares
◆ Prevent a disk from being used for Hot Relocation or Hot Spare
◆ Mark a disk as Reserved
Each disk must be customized individually, you cannot set disk usage for a group of
disks:
Notes:
◆ The Clear the Relocation Info procedure requires the name of the original disk (even
if an alternate disk is specified).
◆ When a disk fails, the hot-relocation feature attempts to move subdisks from the failed
disk toother disks. The
Clear the Relocation Info procedure canbe used toreturn the
relocated subdisks to their original disk locations after the original disk is repaired or
replaced.
◆ It is not possible to return relocated subdisks to their original disks after their dynamic
disk grouprelocation information has been clearedwith the
Clear the Relocation Info
task.
