Making a disk available for hot-relocation use
Free space is used automatically by hot-relocation in case spare space is not
sufficient to relocate failed subdisks. You can limit this free space usage by
hot-relocation by specifying which free disks should not be touched by
hot-relocation. If a disk was previously excluded from hot-relocation use, you
can undo the exclusion and add the disk back to the hot-relocation pool.
To make a disk available for hot-relocation use, use the following command:
# vxedit [-g diskgroup] set nohotuse=off diskname
