Taking a Disk Offline

Occasionally, you may need to take a physical disk offline. If the disk is corrupted, you need to disable it and remove it. You also must disable a disk before moving the physical disk device to another location to be connected to another system.

To take a physical disk offline, first remove the disk from its disk group. Then place the disk offline by using the vxdisk(1M) command.
