Adding a Disk to a Dynamic Disk Group

Select the uninitialized disk to be placed under VxVM control.

Choose Actions > Add Disk to Dynamic Group. The Add Disk to Dynamic Group wizard appears. Click Next to continue.

Complete the Add Disk to Dynamic Group wizard as follows:

Dynamic disk group name:

Select the dynamic disk group into which the disks will be added.

To add the disk(s) to a new dynamic disk group, select New dynamic disk group, and enter the name of the new dynamic disk group in the new dialog box.

Available disks:

Selected disks:

Move the disks to be added from Available disks to Selected disks.

When you have provided all necessary information in the dialog box, click Next.

When the confirmation dialog box appears, click Yes to confirm your selection.
Click Finish to add the disk to the selected group.
If your system supports encapsulation, you now indicate whether the disk should be initialized or encapsulated. (It is necessary to reboot the system before encapsulation takes effect.)




	NOTE: The Add Disk to Dynamic Group task sets up disks for VxVM use. Disks must be under VxVM control and in a dynamic disk group before they can be used to create volumes. Disks must be online before they can be added to a dynamic disk group. Disks that already belong to a dynamic disk group cannot be added to another dynamic disk group. Disks cannot be added to deported dynamic disk groups.
