Removing and replacing disks
2 At the following prompt, enter the name of the disk to be replaced (or enter list for
a list of disks):
Replace a failed or removed disk
Menu: VolumeManager/Disk/ReplaceDisk
VxVM INFO V-5-2-479 Use this menu operation to specify a
replacement disk for a disk that you removed with the “Remove
a disk for replacement” menu operation, or that failed during
use. You will be prompted for a disk name to replace and a disk
device to use as a replacement.
You can choose an uninitialized disk, in which case the disk
will be initialized, or you can choose a disk that you have
already initialized using the Add or initialize a disk menu
operation.
Select a removed or failed disk [<disk>,list,q,?] mydg02
3 The vxdiskadm program displays the device names of the disk devices available
for use as replacement disks. Your system may use a device name that differs from
the examples. Enter the device name of the disk or press Return to select the default
device:
The following devices are available as replacements:
c0t1d0 c1t1d0
You can choose one of these disks to replace mydg02.
Choose "none" to initialize another disk to replace mydg02.
Choose a device, or select "none"
[<device>,none,q,?] (default: c0t1d0)
4 Depending on whether the replacement disk was previously initialized, perform the
appropriate step from the following:
◆ If the disk has not previously been initialized, press Return at the following prompt to
replace the disk:
VxVM INFO V-5-2-378 The requested operation is to initialize
disk device c0t1d0 and to then use that device to
replace the removed or failed disk mydg02 in disk group mydg.
Continue with operation? [y,n,q,?] (default: y)
◆
If the disk has already been initialized, press Return at the following prompt to
replace the disk:
VxVM INFO V-5-2-382 The requested operation is to use the
initialized device c0t1d0 to replace the removed or
failed disk mydg02 in disk group mydg.
Continue with operation? [y,n,q,?] (default: y)
5 You can now choose whether the disk is to be formatted as a CDS disk that is
portable between different operating systems, or as a non-portable hpdisk-format
disk:
Enter the desired format [cdsdisk,hpdisk,q,?]
(default: cdsdisk)
