Disk status remains online after replica operation is complete
In Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, and Windows Server 2012 environments, the
disk status of secondary volumes on the backup server change to Offline after a backup operation
is performed. However, note that if the operation fails, the status of the secondary volumes on the
backup server might remain Online. If this happens, perform the following procedure to change the
disk status of secondary volumes on the backup server to Offline:
1. Use the RAID Manager command inqraid $Phys -CLI to check the disk numbers of all
secondary volumes that are the backup destinations.
The disk numbers are shown in the DEVICE_FILE column.
2. Start the diskpart command.
3. To display the current disk statuses, enter list disk.
A list of disks that are currently connected to the server will be displayed. The disk numbers are
shown in the Disk ### column. Make sure that in the Status column, statuses of disks whose
disk numbers correspond to the disk numbers on the secondary volumes are Online.
4. For each secondary volume whose disk status is Online, perform the following procedure:
1. Enter select disk disk-number.
2. The following message is displayed: Disk disk-number is now the selected
disk.
3. Enter offline disk.
The following message is displayed: DiskPart successfully offlined the
selected disk.
5. To display the current status of the disks, enter list disk.
Make sure that the disk statuses of the secondary volumes are Offline in the Status column.
