Excluding a disk from hot-relocation use

To exclude a disk from hot-relocation use, use the following command:

# vxedit [-g diskgroup] set nohotuse=on diskname

where diskname is the disk media name.

 To use vxdiskadm to exclude a disk from hot-relocation use

  1. Select menu item 15 (Exclude a disk from hot-relocation use) from the vxdiskadm main menu.
  2. At the following prompt, enter the disk media name (such as mydg01):

    Exclude a disk from hot-relocation use

    Menu: VolumeManager/Disk/UnmarkSpareDisk

    Use this operation to exclude a disk from hot-relocation use.

    This operation takes, as input, a disk name. This is the same

    name that you gave to the disk when you added the disk to the

    disk group.

    Enter disk name [<disk>,list,q,?] mydg01

The following confirmation is displayed:

VxVM INFO V-5-2-925 Excluding mydg01 in mydg from hot-

relocation use is complete.

  1. At the following prompt, indicate whether you want to add more disks to be excluded from hot-relocation (y) or return to the vxdiskadm main menu (n):

    Exclude another disk from hot-relocation use? [y,n,q,?]

    (default: n)
