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 and the Alert Monitor window may provide clues to let you
know that volume recovery is needed.
To recover all volumes on a disk
Step 1. Select the disk containing the volumes to be recovered.
Step 2. Choose Actions > Recover Disk.
Step 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.
