Administering hot-relocation 391Moving and unrelocating subdisksVolume home Subdisk mydg02-03 relocated to mydg05-01, but not yet recovered.

Before you move any relocated subdisks, fix or replace the disk that failed (as described in “Removing and replacing disks” on page 112). Once this is done, you can move a relocated subdisk back to the original disk as described in the following sections.

Caution: During subdisk move operations, RAID-5 volumes are not redundant.Moving and unrelocating subdisks using vxdiskadm

To move the hot-relocated subdisks back to the disk where they originally resided after the disk has been replaced following a failure

1Select menu item 14 (Unrelocate subdisks back to a disk) from the vxdiskadm main menu.

2This option prompts for the original disk media name first.

Enter the disk media name where the hot-relocated subdisks originally resided at the following prompt:

Enter the original disk name [<disk>,list,q,?]

If there are no hot-relocated subdisks in the system, vxdiskadm displays Currently there are no hot-relocated disks, and asks you to press Return to continue.

3You are next asked if you want to move the subdisks to a destination disk other than the original disk.

Unrelocate to a new disk [y,n,q,?] (default: n)

4If moving subdisks to their original offsets is not possible, you can choose to unrelocate the subdisks forcibly to the specified disk, but not necessarily to the same offsets.

Use -f option to unrelocate the subdisks if moving to the exact offset fails? [y,n,q,?] (default: n)

5If you entered y at step 4 to unrelocate the subdisks forcibly, enter y or press Return at the following prompt to confirm the operation:

Requested operation is to move all the subdisks which were hot-relocated from mydg10 back to mydg10 of disk group mydg. Continue with operation? [y,n,q,?] (default: y)

A status message is displayed at the end of the operation.VxVM INFO V-5-2-954 Unrelocate to disk mydg10 is complete.

As an alternative to this procedure, use either the vxassist command or the vxunreloc command directly, as described in “Moving and unrelocating
