Re: how to remove diskgroup

You could use "voldg deport " for this purpose.

Re: how to remove diskgroup

i use "voldg deport dg20", but the dsk20 cannot be reused. there is only one dsk20 in this diskgroup.i cannot "rmdisk"the dsk20, because dsk20 is the last one disk in this diskgroup. how to reuse dsk20??
thanks for u advice.

Re: how to remove diskgroup

I am not sure that I understand the situation. I assume that 'voldg deport' worked. What would you like to do now?

Are you saying that "voldg init " did not work?

Re: how to remove diskgroup

i want to change the lsm disk type from "slice" to "simple",
the "voldisksetup -i dsk20" make "slice disk"
the "voldisksetup -i dsk20c"makes "simple disk".
after dg20 deported, and i run "voldisksetup -i dsk20c", error comes.
how to put dsk20 to its original state?
should i run "voldg flush dg20"?
or "disklabel -s dskc LSMsimple"
or else?

Re: how to remove diskgroup

Ok...I am not sure what error you get when using 'voldisksetup'. But, you can try removing the disk from LSM control (this will make the disklabel as _unused_) and then try putting the disk back under LSM control.

I wouldn't suggest using 'disklabel' directly in this case, as it may cause inconsistency in the LSM database.

Re: how to remove diskgroup

After deporting the disk group, use:
# voldisk rm ; to remove the disk from LSM control.

You can add the disk back to LSM using 'voldisksetup'

Hi,

this procedure is described in the lsm doc 5.2.4
You could also use dxlsm.
