Recovering VDisks

Virtual disks (VDisks) or VDisk copies are corrupted if they have lost cached data or space-efficient metadata, usually as a result of hardware failure. A Fast Write State of Corrupt indicates this data loss.

You can recover one or more corrupted VDisks and VDisk copies. This task assumes that you have already launched the SAN Volume Controller Console.

Perform the following steps to recover VDisks and VDisk copies:

  1. Click Work with Virtual Disks > Virtual Disks in the portfolio. The Viewing Virtual Disks panel is displayed.
  2. Select the offline VDisks and select Recover VDisk from the task list and click Go. The Recovering VDisks panel is displayed.
  3. Verify that the VDisks and VDisk copies have completed recovery by monitoring the VDisk Recovery Results panel.
