You can reset or set Sitetype property of a SFW dynamic volume either through Veritas Enterprise Administrator (VEA) GUI or command line options.

When performing operations like subdisk move & disk evacuation for site-based volumes, storage must come from the same site as the one to which the volume belongs; otherwise, the operation fails. If you are mirroring a Site-Confined volume or trying to grow a site-based volume (Site-Confined or Site Separated), then also storage should come from the same site as the original volume.

Note:

The hot relocation operation does not adhere to site boundary restrictions. If hot relocation causes the site boundary to be crossed, then the Site Separated property of the volumes is changed to Siteless. This is done so as not to disable hot relocation. To restore site boundaries later, you can relocate the data that crossed the site boundary back to a disk on the original site and then change back the properties of the affected volumes.
