Recovering Volumes in a Disk Group
This procedure performs any necessary volume recovery operations on
the volumes in a given disk group. The recovery operations depend on
the types of volumes in the disk group and include starting disabled
volumes, resynchronizing mirrors in mirrored volumes, and
resynchronizing parity in RAID-5 volumes. After successful recovery, the
volumes should be available for use again.
Alert icons and the Alert Monitor window may provide clues to let you
know that volume recovery is needed.
