NOTE
• The contents of a disk must be evacuated/moved to another disk in
the same dynamic disk group with sufficient free space.
• If no target disk is specified, VxVM uses an available disk with
sufficient free space.
• If the disk being evacuated contains part of a mirrored, striped, or
RAID-5 volume, do not move the contents of the disk to another disk
containing a copy of the mirrored volume or part of the
striped/RAID-5 volume.
