3. Select menu item 8 (Remove access to (deport) a disk group) from the
vxdiskadm main menu.
4. At the following prompt, enter the name of the disk group to be deported (in this
example, newdg):
Remove access to (deport) a disk group
Menu: VolumeManager/Disk/DeportDiskGroup
Use this menu operation to remove access to
a disk group that is currently enabled (imported) by this system.
Deport a disk group if you intend to move the disks in a disk
group to another system. Also, deport a disk group if you want to
use all of the disks remaining in a disk group for some new
purpose.
You will be prompted for the name of a disk group. You will also
be asked if the disks should be disabled (offlined). For
removable disk devices on some systems, it is important to
disable all access to the disk before removing the disk.
Enter name of disk group [<group>,list,q,?] (default: list)
newdg
5. At the following prompt, enter y if you intend to remove the disks in this disk group:
VxVM INFO V-5-2-377 The requested operation is to disable access
to the removable disk group named newdg. This disk group is
stored on the following disks:
newdg01 on device c1t1d0
You can choose to disable access to (also known as “offline”)
these disks. This may be necessary to prevent errors if
you actually remove any of the disks from the system.
Disable (offline) the indicated disks? [y,n,q,?] (default: n) y
6. At the following prompt, press Return to continue with the operation:
Continue with operation? [y,n,q,?] (default: y)
Once the disk group is deported, the vxdiskadm utility displays the following
message:
VxVM INFO V-5-2-269 Removal of disk group newdg was successful.
