start vdisk Description Restarts a vdisk that was stopped in order to move its disks into this system. For a replication set, 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. 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. NOTE: If the replication set was deleted while the secondary volume's vdisk was stopped, restarting the vdisk will make the set partially reappear. To clean up this remnant, reattach the secondary volume, set it to be the primary volume (by using the set replication-primaryvolume command), and then delete the replication set again. Syntax start vdisk vdisk Parameters vdisk Name or serial number of the vdisk to start. For vdisk syntax, see "Command syntax" (page 20). Example Start vdisks vd2 and vd1, which respectively contain a snap pool and the associated secondary volume: # start vdisk vd2 Success: Command completed successfully. (2012-01-21 12:26:32) # start vdisk vd1 Success: Command completed successfully. (2012-01-21 12:26:37) See also • detach replication-volume • reattach replication-volume • show vdisks • stop vdisk 336
