Destroying a Disk Group
The vxdg command provides a destroy option that removes a disk group from the system and frees the disks in that disk group for reinitialization:
# vxdg destroy diskgroup
 Caution
This command destroys all data on the disks.
When a disk group is destroyed, the disks that are released can be re-used in other disk groups.
Recovering a Destroyed Disk Group
If a disk group has been accidentally destroyed, you can use the following procedure to recover it, provided that the disks that were in the disk group have not been modified or reused elsewhere:
-
Enter the following command to find out the disk group ID (dgid) of one of the disks that was in the disk group:
# vxdisk -s list disk_access_name
The disk must be specified by its disk access name, such as c0t12d0. Examine the output from the command for a line similar to the following that specifies the disk group ID.
dgid: 963504895.1075.bass
-
Use the disk group ID to import the disk group:
# vxdg import dgid
