Disk Tasks

Moving Objects Between Dynamic Disk Groups

Chapter 3 89

NOTE

• Before moving volumes between dynamic disk groups, stop all

applications that are accessing the volumes, and unmount all ﬁle

systems that are conﬁgured in the volumes.

• The objects to be moved must be self-contained, meaning that the

disks that are moved must not contain any other objects that are not

intended for the move.

• This operation fails if it would remove all the disks from the source

dynamic disk group.

• Volume states are preserved across the move.

• The reconﬁguration must involve an integral number of physical

disks.

• Objects to be moved must not contain open volumes.

• For a dynamic disk group move to succeed, the source dynamic disk

group must contain at least one disk that can store copies of the

conﬁguration database after the move.

• For a dynamic disk group move to succeed, the conﬁguration

database in the target dynamic disk group must be able to

accommodate information about all the objects in the enlarged

dynamic disk group.

Expand: Click Expand to specify that the objects to be

moved should include all other disks that

contain subdisks that are associated with the

speciﬁed objects or with objects that they

contain. For example, if you specify that disk01

should be moved and disk01 contains vol1

which is also located on disk02, then by using

the Expand button, you ensure that disk02 will

also be moved.
