Table 10-56 lists the syntax options for the offline command.

Table 10-56 Options for the offline command

Option	Description
`-G` `diskgroup`	Disk group name.
`-F` `failgroup`	Failure group name.
`-D` `disk`	Specifies a single disk name.
`-t` `minutes` \| `hours`	Specifies the time before the specified disk is dropped as `nm` or `nh`, where `m` specifies minutes and `h` specifies hours. For example, `120m` or `2h`.The default unit is hours.

When a failure group is specified, this implies all the disks that belong to it should be offlined.

Example

The following are examples of the offline command. The first example offlines the failgroup1 failure group of the data disk group. The second example offlines the data_0001 disk of the data disk group with a time of 1.5 hours before the disk is dropped.
