Removing a Log From a Volume
The Log Remove procedure removes a log from a mirrored or RAID-5 volume. For a
mirrored volume, this removes a DRL log from the volume. For a RAID-5 volume, this
removes a RAID-5 log from the volume.
▼ To remove a log from a volume
1. Select the volume that contains the RAID-5 or DRL log to be removed.
2. Select Actions > Log > Remove.
3. Complete the Remove Log dialog box as follows:
After you have provided all necessary information in the dialog box, click OK.
Volume Name: If the correct volume name does not already display in this field,
select the volume name from the drop-down menu.
Removal Method: Specify the logs and/or number of logs to be removed:
- To specify how many logs should be removed, select By
Quantity/Disk. Enter the number of logs to be removed in the
Log quantity field.
- To specify the disks on which logs should be preserved, select
By Quantity/Disk. Select the disk names from the list of
available disks.
- To specify the name of the log to be removed, select Log, then
select the log names from the list of available logs.
Notes:
- This task requires a volume name.
- If the only log is removed from a volume, logging (either dirty region logging or RAID-5
logging) is no longer in effect for that volume. When logging is disabled, recovery time
increases.
