AFAIK, even while part or all of the underlying various implementations are open source, kernel hot patching is always a paid service.

Hi guys,
thanks for your help. I recently did a yum update on my rhel6.4 server. After this update, user logins take for ever and the reboot command does not work. When I do a reboot, the server hangs. Nothing happens.
Any help with this will be appreciated.

vxunreloc
vxunreloc(1M) vxunreloc(1M)
NAME
vxunreloc - move a hot-relocated subdisk back to its original disk
SYNOPSIS
/etc/vx/bin/vxunreloc [-f] [-g diskgroup] [-n dm_name] [-t tasktag] dm_name
DESCRIPTION
The Veritas Volume Manager (VxVM) hot-relocation feature can detect an I/O failure in a subdisk, relocate the subdisk, and recover the plex
associated with the subdisk. vxunreloc lets you reverse the process and move the hot-relocated subdisks back onto a disk that was replaced
after a disk failure.
dm_name specifies the disk where the hot-relocated subdisks originally resided. The -n option moves the subdisks to a different disk from
where VxVM originally relocated them. For example, when disk03 fails, all the subdisks residing on it are hot-relocated to other disks.
After the disk is repaired, it is added back to the disk group using a different name, for example, disk05. If you wanted to move all the
hot-relocated subdisks back to the repaired disk, you would enter:
/etc/vx/bin/vxunreloc -n disk05 disk03
When vxunreloc moves the hot-relocated subdisks, it moves them to their original offsets. However, if there was a subdisk that occupied
part or all of the area on the destination disk, vxunreloc prints an error message and exits. In this situation, you can use the -f option
to unrelocate the subdisks to a specified disk, but not to their original offsets.
OPTIONS
-f Unrelocates a subdisk to a different offset if unrelocating to the original offset is not possible.
-g diskgroup
Unrelocates a subdisk from the specified disk group. If this option is not specified, the default disk group is determined using
the rules given in the vxdg(1M) manual page.
-n dm_name
Specifies a new disk name to relocate to a disk with a different name.
-t tasktag
Specifies a tag to pass to the underlying utility.
SUBDISK RECORD FIELDS
orig_dmname
When a subdisk is hot-relocated, its original disk media name is stored in the orig_dmname field. When you run the vxunreloc
command to move the subdisk back to the original disk (or to a new disk), this field is cleared. Before you run the vxunreloc
command, you can do a search on this field to determine the subdisks that originated from a failed disk. For example, the fol-
lowing command lists all the subdisks that were hot-relocated from mydg01 in the disk group mydg. Note that you must prefix the
field name with "sd_" for the command to work.
vxprint -g mydg -se 'sd_orig_dmname="mydg01"'
orig_dmoffset
When a subdisk is hot-relocated, its offset into the original disk is stored in the orig_dmoffset field. When you run vxunreloc
to move the subdisk to the original disk, or to a new disk, this field is zeroed. The following command lists a hot-relocated
subdisk which originally resided at disk10 at offset 1000. Again note that you must prefix the field names with "sd_" for the
command to work.
vxprint -g dg01 -se 'sd_orig_dmname="disk10"
&& sd_orig_dmoffset=1000'
EXIT CODES
If the operation fails, vxunreloc exits with a non-zero status. A non-zero exit code is not a complete indicator of the problems encoun-
tered, but rather denotes the first condition that prevented further execution of the utility.
See vxintro(1M) for a list of standard exit codes.
