You can move offline virtual disks (VDisks) to their original
I/O group using the command-line interface (CLI).
Beginning with SAN Volume Controller 4.3.1, the recovery I/O
group is no longer used for VDisk recovery, but it is possible that
VDisks were moved to the I/O group before the upgrade.
After a node or an I/O group fails, you can use the following
procedure to move offline VDisks to their original I/O group.
Attention: Do not move VDisks to an offline I/O group. Ensure
that the I/O group is online before you move the VDisks back to avoid
any further data loss.
Perform the following steps to move
offline VDisks to their original I/O group:
- Issue the following command to move the VDisk back into
the original I/O group:
svctask chvdisk -iogrp IOGRPNAME/ID -force
vdiskname/ID
where IOGRPNAME/ID is the
name or ID of the original I/O group and vdiskname/ID is the
name or ID of the offline VDisk.
- Issue the following command to verify that the VDisks are
now online:
svcinfo lsvdisk -filtervalue IO_group_name=
IOGRPNAME/ID
where IOGRPNAME/ID is the
name or ID of the original I/O group.
