Deporting a disk group disables access to a disk group that is enabled (imported) by the system. Deport a disk group if you intend to move the disks in a disk group to another system.
If the disk group contains volumes that are in use (for example, by mounted file systems or databases), deportation fails.
# vxvol -g diskgroup stopall
Enter name of disk group [<group>,list,q,?] (default: list) newdg
Disable (offline) the indicated disks? [y,n,q,?] (default: n) y
Continue with operation? [y,n,q,?] (default: y)
After the disk group is deported, the vxdiskadm utility displays the following message:
VxVM INFO V-5-2-269 Removal of disk group newdg was successful.
Disable another disk group? [y,n,q,?] (default: n)
You can use the following vxdg command to deport a disk group:
# vxdg deport diskgroup
