The following command joins disk group mydg to rootdg:

#vxdg join mydg rootdg

The moved volumes are initially disabled following the join. Use the following commands to recover and restart the volumes in the target disk group:

#vxrecover -g targetdg -m [volume ...]

#vxvol -g targetdg startall

The output from vxprint after the join shows that disk group mydg has been removed:

#vxprint

Disabling a disk group

To disable a disk group, unmount and stop any volumes in the disk group, and then use the following command to deport it:

#vxdg deport diskgroup

Deporting a disk group does not actually remove the disk group. It disables use of the disk group by the system. Disks in a deported disk group can be reused, reinitialized, added to other disk groups, or imported for use on other systems. Use the vxdg import command to re-enable access to the disk group.
