Disassociate State of plexes

Question

Describe disassociate State of plexes?

Answer 1

Dissociate each of the named plexes. Dissociating a plex breaks the link among the plex and its volume. A dissociated plex is inaccessible till it is re-associated that can be done either along with vxplex at or with vxmake. Any checks and synchronizations which apply to the det operation also apply to the dis operation.

Plex dissociation is the typical means of unmirroring a volume, or decreasing the mirror count for a volume. To hold up this use, -o rm can be utilized to dissociate and remove the plex (and its associated subdisks) in the similar operation. It makes the space utilized by those subdisks usable for new allocations (such as with vxassist or with vxmake).
