Note If removing a disk causes one or more volumes to be disabled, see the section,
“Restarting a Disabled Volume” in the chapter “Recovery from Hardware Failure”
in the VERITAS Volume Manager Troubleshooting Guide, for information on how to
restart a disabled volume so that you can restore its data from a backup.
If you wish to move hot-relocate subdisks back to a replacement disk, see “Configuring
Hot-Relocation to Use Only Spare Disks” on page 339.
