You might remove a plex from a mirrored traditional volume, if there is a problem with that plex.
Before You Begin
Ensure that the plex you are removing is offline.
Considerations
If you have a double-disk failure that causes a plex to fail, you can remove the plex from the mirrored traditional volume, fix the problem, and then re-create it. You can also re-create it using a different set of disks, if the problem cannot be fixed.
You might also remove a plex from a mirrored traditional volume if you want to stop mirroring the traditional volume.
Step
- To remove a plex from a mirrored traditional volume, enter the following command:vol destroy plexname
plexname is the name of the plex you are removing.
Example
Use the following command to remove and destroy the vol0/plex1 plex from the vol0 mirrored volume after taking the vol0/plex1 plex offline.vol destroy vol0/plex1
Removing and destroying a plex from a mirrored traditional volume results in an unmirrored traditional volume, because the traditional volume now has only one plex.
After removing the plex, Data ONTAP converts the good disks used by the plex into hot spare disks.
