Creating a CDS disk from a disk that is not in a disk group

 To create a CDS disk from a disk that is not in a disk group

  1. 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.

  2. 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.)

  3. Rescan for the disk using this command:

    # vxdisk scandisks

  4. Type this command to set up the disk:

    # vxdisksetup -i disk
