There are instances
when you must take a disk offline. If a disk is corrupted, you must
disable the disk before removing it. You must also disable a disk
before moving the physical disk device to another location to be
connected to another system. | | | |  | NOTE: Taking a disk offline is only useful on systems that
support hot-swap removal and insertion of disks without needing
to shut down and reboot the system. | | | | |
To take a disk offline, use the vxdiskadm command: Select
menu item 10 (Disable (offline) a disk device) from the vxdiskadm main
menu. At the following prompt, enter the address of the disk
you want to disable: Disable (offline) a disk device
Menu: VolumeManager/Disk/OfflineDisk
Use this menu operation to disable all access to a disk device by the Volume Manager. This operation can be applied only to disks that are not currently in a disk group. Use this operation if you intend to remove a disk from a system without rebooting.
NOTE: Many systems do not support disks that can be removed from a system during normal operation. On such systems, the offline operation is seldom useful. Select a disk device to disable [<address>,list,q,?] c0t2d0 |
The vxdiskadm program disables the specified disk. At the following prompt, indicate whether you want to
disable another device (y) or return to the vxdiskadm main menu
(n): Disable another device? [y,n,q,?] (default: n) |
