$ vxdisk -g testdg set c5t0d6 pftostate=disabled
To enable or disable PFTO on a disk group, use the following command:
$ vxpfto -g dg_name -o pftostate={enabled|disabled}
For example, to disable PFTO on all disks in the diskgroup testdg:
$ vxpfto -g testdg -o pftostate=disabled
Removing disks
You must disable a disk group before you can remove the last disk in that group.
See “Disabling a disk group” on page 263.
As an alternative to disabling the disk group, you can destroy the disk group.
See “Destroying a disk group” on page 264.
You can remove a disk from a system and move it to another system if the disk is
failing or has failed.
