replphyvol command

Purpose

Replaces a physical volume in a volume group with another physical volume.

Syntax

replphyvol [-force ] {SourcePhysicalVolume | SourcePhysicalVolumeID} [DestinationPhysicalVolume]

replphyvol [-retry] dir_name [DestinationPhysicalVolume]

Description

The replphyvol command replaces allocated physical partitions and the data they contain from the SourcePhysicalVolume to DestinationPhysicalVolume. The specified source physical volume cannot be the same as DestinationPhysicalVolume.

Note:

The DestinationPhysicalVolume size must be at least the size of the SourcePhysicalVolume.
The replphyvol command cannot replace a SourcePhysicalVolume with stale logical volume unless this logical volume has a non-stale mirror.
The replphyvol command is not allowed on a snapshot volume group or a volume group that has a snapshot volume group. The allocation of the new physical partitions follows the policies defined for the logical volumes that contain the physical partitions being replaced.
The DestinationPhysicalVolume cannot be a physical volume that is assigned to a shared memory pool (to be used as a paging space device by a shared memory partition).

The allocation of the new physical partitions follows the policies defined for the logical volumes that contain the physical partitions being replaced.

Flags

-force	Runs the command without prompting the user to continue.
-retry	Displays specified boot list, after any specified alterations
SourcePhysicalVolume	Specifies the source physical volume name.
SourcePhysicalVolumeID	Specifies the source physical volume ID.
DestinationPhysicalVolume	Specifies the destination physical volume name.
dir_name	Recovers replphyvol if it is interrupted by CTL+C, a system lock up, or a loss of quorum. Specify the directory name given during the initial run of replphyvol if you are using the -retry flag. Using this flag, you can also change the DestinationPhysicalVolume

Exit Status

See Exit status for Virtual I/O Server commands.

Examples

To create a boot list of logical devices to be used in the next normal boot, type the following command:

replphyvol -force hdisk0 hdisk4

To recover a boot list of logical devices if the normal boot was interrupted, type the following command:

replphyvol -retry <directory_name> hdisk4
