Use the Recover VDisks by I/O Group panel in the SAN Volume Controller Console to recover all corrupted virtual disks (VDisks) or copies within the selected I/O group. VDisks are corrupted when cached data or space-efficient metadata has been lost, usually as a result of a hardware failure. This data loss is indicated when the VDisk has a Fast Write State of Corrupt.
All the VDisks or copies in the selected I/O group are recovered and brought back online during the recovery process. If a VDisk is space-efficient or has space-efficient copies, its status is set to Repairing and is not brought back online until the repair process completes. If the VDisk is mirrored, this action completes resynchronization of the copy from a synchronized copy.
You might also use this action to recover VDisk copies where one copy is offline and corrupted and the other copy is online and not corrupted. The VDisk displays as online and not corrupted. The recovery process resynchronizes the offline and corrupt copy with the synchronized VDisk copy and brings the copy back online. To view the status of VDisk copies, click the VDisk name and select Copies to display details on the copies that are associated with the selected VDisk.
