Moving offline volumes to the recovery I/O group using the CLI

You can move offline volumes to the recovery I/O group using the command-line interface (CLI). The system disables moving volume if the selected volume is currently formatting. After the formatting completes, you can move the volume.

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

  1. Issue the following CLI command to list all volumes that are offline and belong to the I/O group: 
    lsvdisk -filtervalue IO_group_name=
 IOGRPNAME/ID:status=offline

    Where IOGRPNAME/ID is the name of the I/O group that failed.

  2. Issue the following CLI command to move the volume to the recovery I/O group: 
    movevdisk  -iogrp  recovery_io_grp -force volume_99

    where volume_99 is the name of one of the offline volumes

    Important: If you specify the -force parameter, the contents of the cache are discarded and the volume might be corrupted by the loss of the cached data. Use the -force parameter under the direction of support.
  3. Repeat step 2 for all volumes that are offline.
