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 in RAID-5
volumes. After successful recovery, the volume is 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
Step 1. Select the volume to be recovered.
Step 2. Choose Actions > Recover Volume.
Step 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.
