The vxdiskadm program displays the device names of the disk devices available

for use as replacement disks. Your system may use a device name that differs

from the examples. Enter the device name of the disk or press Return to select

the default device:

The following devices are available as replacements:

c0t1d0 c1t1d0

You can choose one of these disks to replace mydg02.

Choose "none" to initialize another disk to replace mydg02.

Choose a device, or select "none"

[<device>,none,q,?] (default: c0t1d0)

Depending on whether the replacement disk was previously initialized,

perform the appropriate step from the following:

■ If the disk has not previously been initialized, press Return at the following

prompt to replace the disk:

VxVM INFO V-5-2-378 The requested operation is to initialize

disk device c0t1d0 and to then use that device to

replace the removed or failed disk mydg02 in disk group mydg.

Continue with operation? [y,n,q,?] (default: y)

■ If the disk has already been initialized, press Return at the following

prompt to replace the disk:

VxVM INFO V-5-2-382 The requested operation is to use the

initialized device c0t1d0 to replace the removed or

failed disk mydg02 in disk group mydg.

Continue with operation? [y,n,q,?] (default: y)

You can now choose whether the disk is to be formatted as a CDS disk that is

portable between different operating systems, or as a non-portable

hpdisk-format disk:

Enter the desired format [cdsdisk,hpdisk,q,?]

(default: cdsdisk)

Enter the format that is appropriate for your needs. In most cases, this is the

default format, cdsdisk.
