Chapter 9342
Configuring Hot-Relocation to Use Only Spare
Disks
If you want VxVM to use only spare disks for hot-relocation, add the
following line to the file /etc/default/vxassist:
spare=only
If not enough storage can be located on disks marked as spare, the
relocation fails. Any free space on non-spare disks is not used.
