stop vdisk
Description
Stops a vdisk to prepare its disks for removal.
Stopping a vdisk is part of the process for moving a secondary volume from a primary system into a
secondary system. The process to move a secondary volume is:
1.
In the system where the secondary volume resides:
a.
Detach the secondary volume.
b.
If the secondary volume’s vdisk contains other secondary volumes, detach those volumes.
c.
Stop the secondary volume’s vdisk.
d.
If the secondary volumes’ snap pools are in other vdisks, stop those vdisks.
e.
Move the vdisks into the secondary system. This system must support the link type that the
replication set is configured to use. For example, if the replication set’s link type is configured
to use FC links, the secondary system must have FC ports.
2.
In the secondary system:
a.
Start the snap pools’ vdisks.
b.
Start the secondary volumes’ vdisks.
c.
Reattach the secondary volumes.
Before stopping a vdisk, ensure that all secondary volumes that it contains are detached. When a
vdisk is stopped:
•
The volumes in the vdisk become inaccessible to hosts.
•
Its cached data is flushed to disk.
•
Removing its disks will not cause the system to report errors or to attempt reconstruction.
NOTE:
You cannot stop a vdisk that contains a primary volume.
NOTE:
If a secondary volume and its snap pool are in different vdisks, you cannot stop the snap
pool’s vdisk until you stop the secondary volume’s vdisk.
If the stop operation succeeds, the vdisk’s health is shown as
Unknown
and its status is shown as
STOP
.
If the stop operation succeeded for the secondary volume’s vdisk and for its snap pool’s vdisk (if
applicable), you can move the disks into the remote system.
Syntax
stop vdisk
vdisk
Parameters
vdisk
Name or serial number of the vdisk to stop. For vdisk syntax, see

Example
Stop vdisks
vd1
and
vd2
, which respectively contain a secondary volume and its snap pool:
# stop vdisk vd1
Success: Command completed successfully. (2012-01-21 12:26:07)
# stop vdisk vd2
Success: Command completed successfully. (2012-01-21 12:26:12)
