Dissociating data volumes

Use the vxrds delvol command to dissociate the data volume from the RDS, to which the RVG belongs. The volumes are not physically deleted from the SFW configuration. Before using the vxrds delvol command make sure that the Secondary is up-to-date or you stop the replication to the Secondary. Use the -f option to forcefully delete the volumes, even if they are in use. Note that if the RDS contains a Bunker RVG then the vxrds delvol command ignores the Bunker RVG.

Syntax for vxrds delvol command

vxrds [-g<diskgroup>] [-f] delvol <local_rvg> <volume>

Example

vxrds -g vvrdg delvol rvg volume
