Excluding a Disk from Hot-Relocation Use

To exclude a disk from hot-relocation use, use the following command:

# vxedit -g disk_group set nohotuse=on diskname

Alternatively, using vxdiskadm:

Step 1. Select menu item 15 (Exclude a disk from hot-relocation use) from the

vxdiskadm main menu.

Step 2. At the following prompt, enter the disk name (such as disk01):

Exclude a disk from hot-relocation use

Menu: VolumeManager/Disk/UnmarkSpareDisk

Use this operation to exclude a disk from hot-relocation use.

This operation takes, as input, a disk name. This is the same

name that you gave to the disk when you added the disk to the

disk group.

Enter disk name [<disk>,list,q,?] disk01

The vxdiskadm program displays the following conﬁrmation:

Excluding disk01 in rootdg from hot-relocation use is complete.

Step 3. At the following prompt, indicate whether you want to add more disks to

be excluded from hot-relocation (y) or return to the vxdiskadm main

menu (n):

Exclude another disk from hot-relocation use? [y,n,q,?]

(default: n)
