default disk group

Sajeev2007 — Wed, 17 Oct 2007 15:48:25 GMT

I have two disk groups. default and diskgroup2
can i ungroup all disks in default, except 8 disks, and then delete the default disk group ? then move the remaining disks to the diskgroup2 ?

Hi,

If there are no Vdisks in the default disk group, then you should just be able to delete it without ungrouping the disks first.

The only time that you can't delete a disk group is when it's the only one on the system.

Be aware though that deleting the default disk group may cause a resync of the controllers. I seem to recall reading an advisory on this recently, but can't find it again at the moment.

Cheers,

Rob

the resync of the controllers was an old problem. for versions below 6.01.
