-> svctask detectmdisk

Manually rescan the fibre-channel network for any new managed disks
(MDisks)

-> svcinfo lsdetectmdiskcandidate

This is used to detect the unmanaged mdisks

-> svctask mkmdiskgrp name New_MdiskGrp_Name

It returns an unique ID after creating new Mdisk Grp

# svctask migratevdisk -vdisk 4 -mdiskgrp Group0 -threads 2

This is command to migrate one vdisk to other in different mdiskgrp,

threads 2 refers to the CPU process, if no of threads increases
that will complete the migrations faster and it will reduce the number
of vidisks parallely migrated at a time, default # of threads are 4

For 8G4 node cluster the best practice is go with 8 vdisk migrations
with 4 threads
