Recovering a Volume

The Recover Volume procedure performs any necessary volume recovery operations on a volume. The recovery operations depend on the type of volume and include starting disabled volumes, resynchronizing mirrors in mirrored volumes, and resynchronizing parity in RAID-5 volumes. After successful recovery, the volume is again available for use.

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

 
   To recover a failed volume

  1. Select the volume to be recovered.
  2. Choose Actions > Recover Volume.
  3. In reply to the message “Are you sure you want to recover volume ...,” click OK.
    Note:
    • In some cases, recovery is not possible. If the volume recovery fails, you can attempt to restore the volume from backup.
