Veritas Volume Manager – vxdiskadm
2.11 Disable (offline) a disk device
This option disables all access to a disk which is not part of any disk group . This is used to remove disk from volume group. Some systems do not support disks that can be removed from a system during normal operation. On such systems, the offline operation is not very useful.

Menu: VolumeManager/Disk/OfflineDisk
Use this menu operation to disable all access to a disk device
by the Volume Manager. This operation can be applied only to
disks that are not currently in a disk group. Use this operation
if you intend to remove a disk from a system without rebooting.

a system during normal operation. On such systems, the
offline operation is seldom useful.
