Recovering Volumes on a Disk
The Recover Disk procedure performs any necessary volume recovery operations on the
volumes on a given disk. The recovery operations depend on the types of volumes on the
disk and include starting disabled volumes, resynchronizing mirrors in mirrored
volumes, and resynchronizing parity in RAID-5 volumes. After successful recovery, the
volumes are again available for use.
Alert icons andthe Alert Monitorwindow may provide clues tolet you knowthat volume
recovery is needed.
▼ To recover all volumes on a disk
1. Select the disk containing the volumes to be recovered.
2. Choose Actions > Recover Disk.
3. Click OK to complete the recover disk procedure.
Note:
In some cases, recovery is not possible. If the volume recovery fails, you can attempt to
restore the volume from backup.
