2.8 Enable access to (import) a disk group

Used in enabling ownership of the other system to a disk group which has been deported by the other system. Used in failover configurations where the ownership of a shared disk/disk group is transferred to the other system in case of failure of current system.

Select menu item 8(Enable access to (import) a disk group) from the vxdiskadm main menu.

Enable access to (import) a disk group
Menu: VolumeManager/Disk/EnableDiskGroup

Use this operation to enable access to a disk group. This can be
used as the final part of moving a disk group from one system to
another. The first part of moving a disk group is to use the
“Remove access to (deport) a disk group” operation on the
original host.

A disk group can be imported from another host that failed without
first deporting the disk group. Be sure that all disks in the disk
group are moved between hosts.

If two hosts share a SCSI bus, be very careful to ensure that the
other host really has failed or has deported the disk group. If
two active hosts import a disk group at the same time, the disk
group will be corrupted and will become unusable.

Select disk group to import [,list,q,?] (default: list)
newdg
The import of newdg was successful.

Select another disk group? [y,n,q,?] (default: n)
