You can move offline volumes to the recovery I/O group using the command-line interface
(CLI). The system does not move the selected
volume if it is being formatted.
After the
formatting process completes, you can move the volume.
About this task
Complete the following steps to move offline volumes to
the recovery I/O group:
Procedure
- Issue the following command to list all volumes that are offline and belong to the I/O group.
The IO_grpname_or_ID value is the name of the I/O group that failed.
lsvdisk -filtervalue IO_group_name= IO_grpname_or_ID:status=offline
- Issue the following command, where volume_99 is the name of one of the
offline volumes, to move the volume to the recovery I/O group.
movevdisk -iogrp recovery_io_grp -force volume_99
Important: If you specify the -force
parameter, the contents of the cache are discarded and the volume might be corrupted by the loss of
the cached data. Use the -force parameter under the direction of
support.
- Repeat step 2 for all
volumes that are offline.
