Moving offline volumes to their original I/O group by using the CLI

Move offline volumes to their original I/O group by using the command-line interface (CLI).

About this task

After a node or an I/O group fails, you can use the following procedure to move offline volumes to their original I/O group. The system disables moving a volume if the selected volume is formatting. After the formatting completes, you can move the volume.

Complete the following steps to move offline volumes to their original I/O group:

Procedure

  1. Enter the following command to move the volume back into the original I/O group.

    In the example, 7 is the name of the node that you want to move the volume, IOGRP3 identifies the I/O group that you want to migrate the volume to, and DB_volume identifies the volume that you want to migrate.

     movevdisk -iogrp  IOGRP3 -node 7 DB_volume
  2. Enter the following command, where IO_grpname_or_ID is the name or ID of the original I/O group, to verify that the volumes are now online.
    lsvdisk -filtervalue IO_group_name= IO_grpname_or_ID
