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 and the Alert Monitor window may provide clues to let you
know that volume recovery is needed.
To recover all volumes in a dynamic disk group
Step 1. Select the dynamic disk group containing the volumes to be recovered.
Step 2. Enter the dynamic disk group name if the correct dynamic disk group
name is not shown in the dialog box.
Step 3. Choose Actions > Recover Dynamic Disk Group.
Step 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.
