4Depending on whether the replacement disk was previously initialized, perform the appropriate step from the following:

◆If the disk has not previously been initialized, press Return at the following prompt to replace the disk:

VxVM INFO V-5-2-378 The requested operation is to initialize disk device c0t1d0 and to then use that device to

replace the removed or failed disk mydg02 in disk group mydg. Continue with operation? [y,n,q,?] (default: y)

◆If the disk has already been initialized, press Return at the following prompt to replace the disk:

VxVM INFO V-5-2-382 The requested operation is to use the initialized device c0t1d0 to replace the removed or failed disk mydg02 in disk group mydg.

Continue with operation? [y,n,q,?] (default: y)

5You can now choose whether the disk is to be formatted as a CDS disk that is portable between different operating systems, or as a non-portable hpdisk-format disk:

Enter the desired format [cdsdisk,hpdisk,q,?] (default: cdsdisk)

Enter the format that is appropriate for your needs. In most cases, this is the default format, cdsdisk.

6At the following prompt, vxdiskadm asks if you want to use the default private region size of 32768 blocks (32 MB). Press Return to confirm that you want to use the default value, or enter a different value. (The maximum value that you can specify is 524288 blocks.)

Enter desired private region length [<privlen>,q,?] (default: 32768)
