Recovering Volumes in Dynamic Disk Groups

The Recover Dynamic Disk Group procedure performs any necessary volume recovery

operations on the volumes in a given dynamic disk group. The recovery operations

depend on the types of volumes in the group 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 in a dynamic disk group

1. Select the dynamic disk group containing the volumes to be recovered.

2. Enter the dynamic disk group name if the correct dynamic disk group name is not

shown in the dialog box.

3. Choose Actions > Recover Dynamic Disk Group.

4. Click OK.

Note:

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

restore the volume from backup.
