Excluding a Disk from Hot-Relocation Use

To exclude a disk from hot-relocation use, use the following command:

where diskname is the disk media name.

Alternatively, using vxdiskadm:

1. Select menu item 15 (Exclude a disk from hot-relocation use) from the vxdiskadm main menu.
2. At the following prompt, enter the disk media name (such as mydg01):
   Exclude a disk from hot-relocation use
   Menu: VolumeManager/Disk/UnmarkSpareDisk
   Use this operation to exclude a disk from hot-relocation use. This operation takes, as input, a disk name. This is the same name that you gave to the disk when you added the disk to the disk group.
   Enter disk name [<disk>,list,q,?] mydg01

   The following confirmation is displayed:

   
   VxVM INFO V-5-2-925 Excluding mydg01 in mydg from hot-relocation use is complete.
3. At the following prompt, indicate whether you want to add more disks to be excluded from hot-relocation (y) or return to the vxdiskadm main menu (n):
   Exclude another disk from hot-relocation use? [y,n,q,?] 
   (default: n)
