Recovering Volumes on a Disk

This 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 should be available for use again.

Alert icons and the Alert Monitor window may provide clues to let you know that volume recovery is needed.
