If you move a disk from
one system to another during normal system operation, VxVM does
not recognize the disk automatically. The enable disk task enables VxVM to
identify the disk and to determine if this disk is part of a disk
group. Also, this task re-enables access to a disk that was disabled
by either the disk group deport task or the disk device disable (offline)
task. To enable a disk, use the following procedure: Select
menu item 9 (Enable (online) a disk device) from the vxdiskadm main
menu. At the following prompt, enter the device name of the
disk to be enabled (or enter list for a list of devices): Enable (online) a disk device
Menu: VolumeManager/Disk/OnlineDisk
Use this operation to enable access to a disk that was disabledwith the "Disable (offline) a disk device" operation. You can also use this operation to re-scan a disk that may have been changed outside of the Volume Manager. For example, if adisk is shared between two systems, the Volume Manager running on the other system may have changed the disk. If so, you can use this operation to re-scan the disk.
NOTE: Many vxdiskadm operations re-scan disks without user intervention. This will eliminate the need to online a disk directly, except when the disk is directly offlined.
Select a disk device to enable [<address>,list,q,?] c0t2d0 |
vxdiskadm enables the specified device. At the following prompt, indicate whether you want to
enable another device (y) or return to the vxdiskadm main menu (n): Enable another device? [y,n,q,?] (default: n) |
