Start Vdisk - HP P2000 Reference Manual

start vdisk

Description Restarts a vdisk that was stopped in order to move its disks into this system.
Starting 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.
2. In the secondary system:
a. Start the snap pools' vdisks.
b. Start the secondary volumes' vdisks.
c. Reattach the secondary volumes.
NOTE:
clean up this remnant by reattaching the secondary volume, setting it to be the primary volume (by
using the set replication-external-view command), and then deleting the replication set again.
