Replacing a disk in a CDS disk group

To replace a disk in a CDS disk group

Note   When replacing a disk in a CDS disk group, you cannot use a non-CDS disk as the replacement.

• Type the following commands:

  # vxdg -k rmdisk disk_name

  # vxdg -k adddisk disk_name=disk_access_name

The -k option retains and reuses the disk media record for the disk that is being replaced. The following example shows a disk device disk21 being reassigned to disk mydg01.

# vxdg -k rmdisk mydg01

# vxdg -k adddisk mydg01=disk21

For other operating systems, use the appropriate device name format.
