vxplex - performing plex tasks

The vxplex command performs Volume Manager tasks on a plex or on volume-and-plex combinations. The first operand is a keyword that specifies the task to perform. The remaining operands specify the objects to which the task is to be applied.

You can use the vxplex command to:

Attach or detach a plex and a volume. A detached plex does not share in I/O activity to the volume, but remains associated with the volume. A detached plex is reattached when a volume is next started.
Dissociate a plex from the associated volume. When a plex is dissociated, its relationship to the volume is broken. The plex is then available for other uses and can be associated with a different volume. This is useful as part of a backup procedure.
Copy the contents of the specified volume to the named plex(es). This task makes a copy of a volume (for backup purposes) without mirroring the volume in advance.
Move the contents of one plex to a new plex. This is useful for moving a plex on one disk to a different location.

For detailed information about how to use vxplex, refer to the vxplex(1M) manual page.
