Problem
How to remove the clone_disk flag from a device invxdisk list.
Solution
Storage Foundation 5.0 introduced a new feature called cloning. When running a
vxdisk list, one or more devices may show a state of
clone_disk. The flag can be turned off, or the device can be removed from, then added back to Volume Manager.
Notice the current state of c1t1d0s2 is "
online clone_disk":
# vxdisk list | grep clone_disk
c1t1d0s2 auto:cdsdisk - - online clone_disk
Solution 1:
Clear the flag leaving all other Volume Manager device information as is.
# vxdisk set c1t1d0s2 clone=off
Solution 2:
Remove the device from Volume Manager, then add it back clearing all attributes as if it were new.
# /etc/vx/bin/vxdiskunsetup c1t1d0
# /etc/vx/bin/vxdisksetup -i c1t1d0
After running solution 1 or 2, the c1t1d0s2 device no longer shows the "clone_disk" flag.
# vxdisk list | grep c1t1d0s2
c1t1d0s2 auto:cdsdisk - - online
