You can use the vxtask command to stop (pause) the relayout temporarily, or to cancel it altogether (abort). If you specified a task tag to vxassist when you started the relayout, you can use this tag to specify the task to vxtask. For example, to pause the relayout operation tagged as myconv, enter:
To resume the operation, use the vxtask command:
For relayout operations that have not been stopped using the vxtask pause command (for example, the vxtask abort command was used to stop the task, the transformation process died, or there was an I/O failure), resume the relayout by specifying the start keyword to vxrelayout, as shown here:
# vxrelayout -g mydg -o bg start vol04
If you use the vxrelayout start command to restart a relayout that you previously suspended using the vxtask pause command, a new untagged task is created to complete the operation. You cannot then use the original task tag to control the relayout.
The -o bg option restarts the relayout in the background. You can also specify the slow and iosize option modifiers to control the speed of the relayout and the size of each region that is copied. For example, the following command inserts a delay of 1000 milliseconds (1 second) between copying each 10-megabyte region:
# vxrelayout -g mydg -o bg,slow=1000,iosize=10m start vol04
The default delay and region size values are 250 milliseconds and 1 megabyte respectively.
To reverse the direction of relayout operation that is currently stopped, specify the reverse keyword to vxrelayout as shown in this example:
# vxrelayout -g mydg -o bg reverse vol04
This undoes changes made to the volume so far, and returns it to its original layout.
If you cancel a relayout using vxtask abort, the direction of the conversion is also reversed, and the volume is returned to its original configuration.
