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
