2.7 Move volumes from a disk
This option is used in case the disk is to be replaced or removed and has active volumes on the disk. . Also volumes can be moved to different disk groups for better space , performance etc.

Select menu item 7 (Move volumes from a disk) from the from the from the from the vxdiskadm main menu.

Move volumes from a disk
Menu: VolumeManager/Disk/Evacuate

Use this menu operation to move any volumes that are using a
disk onto other disks. Use this menu immediately prior to
removing a disk, either permanently or for replacement. You can
specify a list of disks to move volumes onto, or you can move the
volumes to any available disk space in the same disk group.

NOTE: Simply moving volumes off of a disk, without also removing
the disk, does not prevent volumes from being moved onto
the disk by future operations. For example, using two
consecutive move operations may move volumes from the
second disk to the first.

Enter disk name [,list,q,?] disk01

You can now specify a list of disks to move onto. Specify a list
of disk media names (e.g., disk01) all on one line separated by
blanks. If you do not enter any disk media names, then the
volumes will be moved to any available space in the disk group.

Requested operation is to move all volumes from disk disk01 in
group rootdg.

NOTE: This operation can take a long time to complete.

Continue with operation? [y,n,q,?] (default: y)

Move volume vol3 …
Move volume vol3-bk00 …
Evacuation of disk disk01 is complete.

Move volumes from another disk? [y,n,q,?] (default: n)
