Deporting Dynamic Disk Groups

The Deport Dynamic Disk Group procedure makes a dynamic disk group and its volumes inaccessible. Once deported, a dynamic disk group cannot be used until it is imported. You can deport a dynamic disk group to make the dynamic disk group temporarily unavailable.

While a dynamic disk group is deported, you cannot remove and reuse any of its disks. To remove disks, you must import the dynamic disk group and then either destroy the dynamic disk group (to remove all of its disks) or remove selected disks from the dynamic disk group.

Procedure 3-18 To deport a dynamic disk group

Select the dynamic disk group to be deported.
Choose Actions > Deport Dynamic Disk Group.
Click OK to complete the deportation.




	NOTE: The Deport Dynamic Disk Group task requires a dynamic disk group name. A deported dynamic disk group cannot be accessed. To access a deported dynamic disk group, the dynamic disk group must be imported. The rootdg disk group cannot be deported. A dynamic disk group cannot be deported if any volumes in that dynamic disk group are in use (open). When a dynamic disk group is deported, the host ID stored on all disks in the dynamic disk group is cleared and the dynamic disk group is not re-imported automatically when the system is rebooted. However, if you specify a host in New Host option, the specified host imports the dynamic disk group at reboot.
