Recovering Volumes in a Disk Group

This procedure performs any necessary volume recovery operations on the volumes in a given disk group. The recovery operations depend on the types of volumes in the disk group 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.

To recover all volumes in a disk group

1. Select the disk group containing the volumes to be recovered.

2. Choose Disk Groups > Recover (Selected menu) or Disk Group Recover (Command Launcher).

3. Complete the Recover Disk Group dialog box as follows:

   If the correct disk group name is not already displayed in this field, type the disk group's name or click Browse to select the disk group.

   When you have provided all necessary information in the dialog box, click OK.

   Notes:
   In some cases, recovery may not be possible. If the volume recovery fails, you can attempt to restore the volume from backup.
