Table 3-3
Additional VxVM tasks with no LVM equivalents
ExamplesTask descriptions
No action needed for hot relocation.
To move hot-relocated subdisks back to the original disk:
vxunreloc disk_name
Hot-relocation: in addition to using disks as hot spares,
the hot relocation facility can also use any available free
space in the disk group. If no disks have been designated
as spares when a failure of a redundant object occurs,
VxVM automatically uses any available free space in the
disk group in which the failure occurs. If there is not
enough spare disk space, a combination of spare space
and free space is used. After a disk is repaired, you can
move all the hot-relocated subdisks back to the original
disk using the vxunreloc (1M) utility.
