Administering Hot-Relocation
How Hot-Relocation works
Chapter 9 329
• The only available space is on a disk that already contains the
RAID-5 log plex or one of its healthy subdisks, failing subdisks in the
RAID-5 plex cannot be relocated.
• If a mirrored volume has a dirty region logging (DRL) log subdisk as
part of its data plex, failing subdisks belonging to that plex cannot be
relocated.
• If a RAID-5 volume log plex or a mirrored volume DRL log plex fails,
a new log plex is created elsewhere. There is no need to relocate the
failed subdisks of log plex.
See the vxrelocd (1M) manual page for more information about the
hot-relocation daemon.
