When a mirror is no longer needed, you can remove it to free up disk space.
To remove a mirror from a volume, use the following command:
# vxassist [-g diskgroup] remove mirror volume
Additionally, you can use storage attributes to specify the storage to be removed. For example, to remove a mirror on disk mydg01 from volume vol01, enter:
# vxassist -g mydg remove mirror vol01 !mydg01
Alternatively, use the following command to dissociate and remove a mirror from a volume:
# vxplex [-g diskgroup] -o rm dis plex
For example, to dissociate and remove a mirror named vol01-02 from the disk group, mydg, use the following command:
# vxplex -g mydg -o rm dis vol01-02
This command removes the mirror vol01-02 and all associated subdisks. This is equivalent to entering the following separate commands:
# vxplex -g mydg dis vol01-02 # vxedit -g mydg -r rm vol01-02
