The vxvol dis command enables you to dissociate the specified volume from an RVG. If the volume that you plan to dissociate is a data volume then make sure that you have disabled data access to the RVG. If the volume is a Replicator Log then ensure that the Secondary is up-to-date before you dissociate it.

You can forcefully dissociate the data or Replicator Log volume using the -f option even when data access to the data volumes is enabled. However, this operation can result in data loss. Using this command, you can dissociate only one volume at one time.

Syntax for vxvol dis command
