Splitting shared disk groups

You can use the vxdg split command to remove a self-contained set of VxVM objects from an imported disk group, and move them to a newly created disk group.

Splitting a private disk group creates a private disk group, and splitting a shared disk group creates a shared disk group. You can split a private disk group on any cluster node where that disk group is imported.

You can split a shared disk group or create a shared target disk group on a master node or a slave node. If you run the command to split a shared disk group or to create a shared target disk group on a slave node, the command is shipped to the master and executed on the master.
