Recovering a Volume

The Recover Volume procedure performs any necessary volume recovery operations on

a volume. The recovery operations depend on the type of volume and include starting

disabled volumes, resynchronizing mirrors in mirrored volumes, and resynchronizing

parity inRAID-5 volumes. After successful recovery, the volumeis again available for use.

Alert icons and the Alert Monitor window can provide clues to let you know that volume

recovery is needed.

▼ To recover a failed volume

1. Select the volume to be recovered.

2. Choose Actions > Recover Volume.

3. In reply to the message “Are you sure you want to recover volume ...,” click OK.

Note:

In some cases, recovery is not possible. If the volume recovery fails, you can attempt to

restore the volume from backup.
