Displaying Spare Disk Information
334 VERITAS Volume Manager Administrator’s Guide
Depending on the locations of the relocated subdisks, you can choose to move them
elsewhere after hot-relocation occurs (see “Configuring Hot-Relocation to Use Only Spare
Disks” on page 339).
After a successful relocation, remove and replace the failed disk as described in
“Removing and Replacing Disks” on page 90).
Displaying Spare Disk Information
Use the following command to display information about spare disks that are available
for relocation:
# vxdg [-g diskgroup] spare
The following is example output:
GROUP DISK DEVICE TAG OFFSET LENGTH FLAGS
mydg mydg02 c0t2d0 c0t2d0 0 658007 s
Here mydg02 is the only disk designated as a spare in the mydg disk group. The LENGTH
field indicates how much spare space is currently available on mydg02 for relocation.
The following commands can also be used to display information about disks that are
currently designated as spares:
◆ vxdisk list lists disk information and displays spare disks with a spare flag.
◆ vxprint lists disk and other information and displays spare disks with a SPARE flag.
◆ The list menu item on the vxdiskadm main menu lists all disks including spare
disks.
