Before you disable or remove a disk, you can move the data from that disk to other disks on the system that have sufficient space.
To move volumes from a disk
Enter disk name [<disk>,list,q,?] mydg01
You can now optionally specify a list of disks to which the volume(s) should be moved. At the prompt, do one of the following:
Press Enter to move the volumes onto available space in the disk group.
Specify the disks in the disk group that should be used, as follows:
Enter disks [<disk ...>,list] VxVM NOTICE V-5-2-283 Requested operation is to move all volumes from disk mydg01 in group mydg. NOTE: This operation can take a long time to complete. Continue with operation? [y,n,q,?] (default: y)
As the volumes are moved from the disk, the vxdiskadm program displays the status of the operation:
VxVM vxevac INFO V-5-2-24 Move volume voltest ...
When the volumes have all been moved, the vxdiskadm program displays the following success message:
VxVM INFO V-5-2-188 Evacuation of disk mydg02 is complete.
Move volumes from another disk? [y,n,q,?] (default: n)
