Setting the noautoimport flag for a disk group


Setting the noautoimport flag for a disk group
Prev	Notes for DiskGroup agent	Next

VCS requires that the noautoimport flag of an imported disk group be explicitly set to true. This value enables VCS to control the importation and deportation of disk groups as needed when bringing disk groups online and taking them offline.

To check the status of the noautoimport flag for an imported disk group

```
# vxprint -l disk_group | grep noautoimport
```
If the output from this command is blank, the noautoimport flag is set to false and VCS lacks the necessary control.

VxVM noautoimport flag usage

The Monitor function changes the value of the VxVM noautoimport flag from off to on. It changes the value instead of taking the service group offline. This action allows VCS to maintain control of importing the disk group.

The following command changes the autoimport flag to false:

# vxdg -g disk_group set autoimport=no
