Clearing Relocation Information for Dynamic Disk Groups
Chapter 384
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.
Step 1. Right-click on a disk group that contains hot relocated subdisks.
Step 2. Select Actions > Clear Hot Relocation Info.
Step 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.
NOTE
• The Clear Hot 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 to other disks. The Clear Hot
Relocation Info procedure can be used to return 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 group relocation information has been
cleared with the Clear Hot Relocation Info task.
