Description
The suspendvsd command brings the specified virtual shared disks from the active state to the suspended state. They remain available. Read and write requests which were active while the virtual shared disk was active are suspended and held. Subsequent read and write operations are also held. If the virtual shared disk is in the suspended state, this command leaves it in the suspended state.
You can use the System Management Interface Tool (SMIT) to run this command. To use SMIT, enter:
smit vsd_mgmtand select the Suspend a Virtual Shared Disk option.
