Changing the status of a volume
You can use Storage Manager to change the status of a FlexVol volume or an Infinite Volume when you want to take a volume offline, bring a volume back online, or restrict access to a volume.
Before you begin
If you want a volume to be the target of a volume copy operation or a SnapMirror replication operation, the volume must be in the restricted state.
If you want to take a NAS volume offline, the NAS volume must be unmounted.
About this task
You can take a volume offline to perform maintenance on the volume, to move the volume, or to destroy the volume. When a volume is offline, the volume is unavailable for read or write access by clients. You cannot take a root volume offline.
