Removing a Disk

You can remove a disk to move it to another system, or you may remove the disk because the disk is failing or has failed. Alternatively, if the volumes are no longer needed, they can be removed.

To remove a disk from the disk group, use the vxdg(1M) command. To remove the disk from volume manager control by removing the private and pubic partitions, use the vxdiskunsetup(1M) command. Refer to the vxdg(1M) and vxdiskunsetup(1M) man pages for complete information on these commands.
