Veritas Volume Manager 5.1 SP1 Administrator"s Guide (5900-1506, April 2011)

# vxdg [-o expand] [-o override|verify] move sourcedg targetdg \
object ...
The -o expand option ensures that the objects that are actually moved include
all other disks containing subdisks that are associated with the specified objects
or with objects that they contain.
The default behavior of vxdg when moving licensed disks in an EMC array is to
perform an EMC disk compatibility check for each disk involved in the move. If
the compatibility checks succeed, the move takes place. vxdg then checks again
to ensure that the configuration has not changed since it performed the
compatibility check. If the configuration has changed, vxdg attempts to perform
the entire move again.
Note: You should only use the -o override and -o verify options if you are
using an EMC array with a valid timefinder license. If you specify one of these
options and do not meet the array and license requirements, a warning message
is displayed and the operation is ignored.
The -o override option enables the move to take place without any EMC checking.
The -o verify option returns the access names of the disks that would be moved
but does not perform the move.
The following output from vxprint shows the contents of disk groups rootdg and
mydg.
The output includes two utility fields, TUTIL0 and PUTIL0.. VxVM creates these
fields to manage objects and communications between different commands and
Symantec products. The TUTIL0 values are temporary; they are not maintained
on reboot. The PUTIL0 values are persistent; they are maintained on reboot.
See “Changing subdisk attributes” on page 279.
