Repair/Recovery Tasks
If disk and/or system failures occur, VxVM generally performs any
necessary recovery operations automatically. However, depending on the
circumstances, you may need to attempt to recover from the situation as
follows.
Protect volumes from disk failure
• “Adding a Disk to VxVM” on page 52.
• “Replacing Disk” on page 63.
These tasks are described in Chapter 3, “Disk Tasks,” on page 47.
Repair/recover volumes
• “Recovering a Volume” on page 140.
• Recover all volumes on a failed disk.
• “Recovering Volumes in Dynamic Disk Groups” on page 80.
• If a volume is not recoverable, restore the volume from backup.
These tasks are described in Chapter 3, “Disk Tasks,” and Chapter 4,
“Volume Tasks.”
Repair/recover file systems
• Perform a file system consistency check on any file systems that may
be damaged.
(Refer to Chapter 5, “File System Tasks.”)
