unable to move a volume from 1 disk to another
version 5.0
Solaris 10

# vxprint |grep n01-sb-1 (nothing else is using this disk n01-sb-1)
dm n01-sb-1 XIV0_22 - 1277034240 - - - -
based the size, i expect to be able to move the volume scms-db160 to n01-sb-1,
BUT,
# vxassist -b -g datadg move scms-db160 n01-sb-1
VxVM vxassist ERROR V-5-1-2221 volume scms-db160 is not using the specified disk name
anyone might have any idea? there is no /etc/vx/default/vxassist file. one more thing i am not certain matter. volume scms-db160 has a mounted checkpoint filesystems in it. I wonder if that is preventing the vxassist command to work.
With "vxassist move" you give the disk it is moving "from" not "to", hence why vxassist says "volume scms-db160 is not using the specified disk name" - see https://sort.symantec.com/public/documents/sfha/6.0/solaris/manualpages/html/man/volume_manager/html/man1m/vxassist.1m.html for more details
