NAME

volevac − Evacuates all volumes from a disk

SYNOPSIS

/usr/sbin/volevac [−g diskgroup] medianame [new_medianame...]

DESCRIPTION

The volevac script moves subdisks off the specified Logical Storage Manager disk (medianame) to the specified destination disks (new_medianame ...). Note that only those subdisks that are associated with a volume are moved to the destination disk. 

Subdisks that are part of unmirrored striped plexes are moved by moving the entire plex to a new location. 

If new_medianame operands are omitted, then any non-volatile, non-reserved disks can be used as destination disks. 

This operation presumes that sufficient space exists elsewhere in the disk group for the operation to complete. If the process runs out of space, some of the volumes on the disk may not be evacuated. 

This script is usually called from the voldiskadm menus.
