Moving offline VDisks to the recovery I/O group using the CLI

You can move offline virtual disks (VDisks) to the recovery I/O group using the command-line interface (CLI).

Perform the following steps to move offline VDisks to the recovery I/O group:

  1. Issue the following CLI command to list all VDisks that are offline and belong to the I/O group:
    svcinfo lsvdisk -filtervalue IO_group_name=
     IOGRPNAME/ID:status=offline

    Where IOGRPNAME/ID is the name of the I/O group that failed.

  2. Issue the following CLI command to move the VDisk to the recovery I/O group:
    svctask chvdisk -iogrp recovery_io_grp -node preferred_node -force 
     vdiskname/ID

    where preferred_node is the name of the node that you want to move the VDisk to and vdiskname/ID is the name of one of the VDisks that are offline.

  3. Repeat step 2 for all VDisks that are offline.
