Restarting a Disabled Volume

Chapter 1

Restarting a Disabled Volume

If a disk failure caused a volume to be disabled, you must restore the volume from a

backup after replacing the failed disk. Any volumes that are listed as Unstartable must

be restarted using the vxvol command before restoring their contents from a backup.

For example, to restart the volume mkting so that it can be restored from backup, use

the following command:

# vxvol -o bg -f start mkting

The -f option forcibly restarts the volume, and the -o bg option resynchronizes plexes

as a background task.
