At the following prompt, indicate whether you want to continue to initialize
more disks (y) or return to the vxdiskadm main menu (n):
Add or initialize other disks? [y,n,q,?] (default: n)
The default layout for disks can be changed.
See “Displaying or changing default disk layout attributes” on page 107.
Disk reinitialization
You can reinitialize a disk that has previously been initialized for use by VxVM
by putting it under VxVM control as you would a new disk.
See “Adding a disk to VxVM” on page 107.
Warning: Reinitialization does not preserve data on the disk. If you want to
reinitialize the disk, make sure that it does not contain data that should be
preserved.
If the disk you want to add has previously been under LVM control, you can
preserve the data it contains on a VxVM disk by the process of conversion.
