2.10 Enable (online) a disk device

Disks which are turned offline by volume manager , or which are to be imported can be enabled by this option. This operation causes disks to be scanned and find out the disk belonging to a disk group.

Select menu item 10 (Enable (online) a disk device) from the vxdiskadm main menu.

Enable (online) a disk device
Menu: VolumeManager/Disk/OnlineDisk

Use this operation to enable access to a disk that was disabled
with the “Disable (offline) a disk device” operation.

You can also use this operation to re-scan a disk that may have
been changed outside of the Volume Manager. For example, if a disk
is shared between two systems, the Volume Manager running on the
other system may have changed the disk. If so, you can use this
operation to re-scan the disk.

NOTE: Many vxdiskadm operations re-scan disks without user
intervention. This will eliminate most needs to online a
disk directly, except when the disk is directly offlined.
