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”.

• “Replacing Disk”.

These tasks are described in Chapter 3 “Disk Tasks”, "Disk Tasks."

Repair/recover volumes

• “Recovering a Volume ”.

• Recover all volumes on a failed disk.

• “Recovering Volumes in Dynamic Disk Groups ”.

• If a volume is not recoverable, restore the volume from backup.

These tasks are described in Chapter 3 “Disk Tasks”, "Disk Tasks," and Chapter 4 “Volume Tasks”, "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.")
