To deport a disk group
1
Stop all activity by applications to volumes that are configured in the disk
group that is to be deported. Unmount file systems and shut down databases
that are configured on the volumes.
If the disk group contains volumes that are in use (for example, by mounted
file systems or databases), deportation fails.

To stop the volumes in the disk group, use the following command
# vxvol -g diskgroup stopall
3
From the vxdiskadm main menu, select Remove access to (deport) a disk
group .

At prompt, enter the name of the disk group to be deported. In the following
example it is newdg):
Enter name of disk group [<group>,list,q,?] (default: list)
newdg

At the following prompt, enter y if you intend to remove the disks in this disk
group:
Disable (offline) the indicated disks? [y,n,q,?] (default: n) y
6
At the following prompt, press Return to continue with the operation:
Continue with operation? [y,n,q,?] (default: y)
After the disk group is deported, the vxdiskadm utility displays the following
message:
VxVM INFO V-5-2-269 Removal of disk group newdg was
successful.

group (y) or return to the vxdiskadm main menu (n):
