More About Using armrecover
The armrecover command is used to rebuild the maps from the metadata
disks in the event of a map Loss. This is the only time this command should be
used.
There are two situations to consider when using the armrecover command:
■ If any errors logged during the recover attempt (such as a reset) the recover
process will fail.
-p Begin the recovery in non-interactive mode. If there are multiple volume
sets on the array, a list of the volume set numbers will be displayed. If
there is only one volume set on the array, the recovery will be done on it.
This option provides a mechanism to pass volume set information to a
script designed to perform a recovery.
-s Returns the recover ability status of the array, as well as the status of a
recovery in progress. The status indicates if recovery is needed, and what
percentage of the entire recovery has been completed. When used with
the –c option, status will be returned at regular intervals allowing
continuous monitoring of the recovery progress.
-v <volume-set-id> Starts a recovery on the volume set indicated by volume-set-id. The
volume set serial number is 16 ASCII characters in size. This option is
intended for use only in environments where there are multiple volume
sets on the array. The virtual array currently supports only a single
volume set.
-override When specified with other options, this will bypass checks on warning
states and allow a recovery command to be issued. This option should be
used with caution.
-? Display expanded usage message. This option overrides all other
switches.
