Listing objects potentially affected by a move
To display the VxVM objects that would be moved for a specified list of objects, use the following command:
# vxdg [-o expand] listmove sourcedg targetdg object ...
The following example lists the objects that would be affected by moving volume vol1 from disk group mydg to newdg:
# vxdg listmove mydg newdg vol1 mydg01 c0t1d0 mydg05 c1t96d0 vol1 vol1-01 vol1-02 mydg01-01 mydg05-01
However, the following command produces an error because only a part of the volume vol1 is configured on the disk mydg01:
# vxdg listmove mydg newdg mydg01 VxVM vxdg ERROR V-5-2-4597 vxdg listmove mydg newdg failed VxVM vxdg ERROR V-5-2-3091 mydg05 : Disk not moving, but subdisks on it are
Specifying the -o expand option, as shown below, ensures that the list of objects to be moved includes the other disks (in this case, mydg05) that are configured in vol1:
# vxdg -o expand listmove mydg newdg mydg01 mydg01 c0t1d0 mydg05 c1t96d0 vol1 vol1-01 vol1-02 mydg01-01 mydg05-01
