Quiescing a reallocation scan

You can quiesce (temporarily stop) a reallocation scan that is in progress and restart it later. A file, LUN, or volume reallocation scan restarts from the beginning of the reallocation process. An aggregate reallocation scan restarts from where it stopped. For example, if you want to back up a LUN or an aggregate but a scan is already in progress, you can quiesce the scan.

Step

1. Enter the following command: reallocate quiesce pathname | aggr_name

   pathname is the path to the LUN, file, or volume, and aggr_name is the name of the aggregate for which you want to quiesce the reallocation scan.
