To create a CDS disk from a disk that is not in a disk group
Run the following command to remove the VM disk format for the disk:
# vxdiskunsetup disk
This is necessary as non-auto types cannot be reinitialized by vxdisksetup.
If the disk is listed in the /etc/vx/darecs file, remove its disk access (DA) record using the command:
# vxdisk rm disk
(Disk access records that cannot be configured by scanning the disks are stored in an ordinary file, /etc/vx/darecs, in the root file system. Refer to the vxintro(1M) manual page for more information.)
Rescan for the disk using this command:
# vxdisk scandisks
Type this command to set up the disk:
# vxdisksetup -i disk
