Moving a plex copies the data content from the original plex onto a new plex. To move a plex, use the following command:
# vxplex [-g diskgroup] mv original_plex new_plex
The size of the plex has several implications:
If the new plex is smaller or more sparse than the original plex, an incomplete copy is made of the data on the original plex. If an incomplete copy is desired, use the -o force option to vxplex.
If the new plex is longer or less sparse than the original plex, the data that exists on the original plex is copied onto the new plex. Any area that is not on the original plex, but is represented on the new plex, is filled from other complete plexes associated with the same volume.
If the new plex is longer than the volume itself, then the remaining area of the new plex above the size of the volume is not initialized and remains unused.
