Unrelocating a Disk

This procedure moves relocated subdisks back to their original disk. When a disk fails, the hot-relocation feature attempts to move subdisks from the failed disk to other disks. The Unrelocate Disk task can be used to return the relocated subdisks to their original disk locations after the original disk is repaired or replaced.

To move relocated subdisks back to a disk

Select the disk that contained the subdisks before hot-relocation.
Choose Disks > Unrelocate (Selected menu) or Disk Unrelocate (Command Launcher).

Complete the Unrelocate Disk dialog box as follows:

Disk Name:

If the original disk name is not already displayed in this field, type the disk's name or click Browse to select the disk. This is the disk that contained the subdisks before they were relocated.

Options

To view subdisks that were relocated by the hot-relocation feature, click View Relocations.
To move the relocated subdisks to a disk other than the original disk, specify an alternate disk in the Alternate Destination Disk field.
To move the subdisks back to their original locations on the original disk, click Use Exact Offsets. If the original locations are not available, it may be necessary to turn off this option so that the subdisks can be moved to any available space on the disk.

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

Notes:

This task requires the name of the original disk (even if an alternate disk is specified).
When a disk fails, the hot-relocation feature attempts to move subdisks from the failed disk to other disks. The Unrelocate Disk task can be used to return the relocated subdisks to their original disk locations after the original disk is repaired or replaced.
It is not possible to return relocated subdisks to their original disks after their disk group's relocation information has been cleared with the Clear Disk Group Relocation Information task.
