Splitting A Dynamic Disk Group

The dynamic disk group split operation involves splitting the contents of an imported dynamic disk group and creating a new dynamic disk group (the Target dynamic disk group) with the objects defined in the dialog box. This operation is performed on VxVM VEA objects such as disks or top-level volumes, and includes all component objects such as sub-volumes, plexes and subdisks.

 
   To perform a dynamic disk group split operation:

  1. Select the dynamic disk group to be split.
  2. Select Actions > Split Dynamic Disk Groups.
  3. Complete the Split Dynamic Disk Group Dialog Box as follows:

    Disk Group Name:

    Enter the name of the dynamic disk group from which objects are to be split.


    Target Disk Group Name:

    Enter the name of the target dynamic disk group which will consist of the objects to be split.


    Select Objects to move:


    Expand:

    Click Expand to specify that the objects to be split should include all other disks that contain subdisks that are associated with the specified objects or with objects that they contain. For example, if you specify that disk01 should be split off and disk01 contains vol1 which is also located on disk02, then by using the Expand button, you ensure that disk02 will also be split off.
