Repairing offline space-efficient VDisks

When a space-efficient virtual disk (VDisk) is taken offline because its metadata is corrupted, you can use the Repairing Space-Efficient VDisk panel to repair the metadata. The repair operation automatically detects corrupted metadata and performs any necessary repair actions.

This task assumes that you have already launched the SAN Volume Controller Console.

Use the Repairing Space-Efficient VDisk panel when directed through maintenance procedures. When the repair operation completes successfully, the error is automatically marked as fixed and the volume is brought back online. If the repair operation fails, an error is logged (error ID 060003) and the volume remains offline.

Once started, the VDisk remains offline for the duration of the repair, but you can move the VDisk to another I/O group.

Attention: You can only use this panel to repair a space-efficient VDisk that has reported corrupt metadata.

Perform the following steps to repair the offline space-efficient VDisk:

Click Work with Virtual Disks > Virtual Disks in the portfolio. The Viewing Virtual Disks panel is displayed.
Select the VDisk to repair and then select Repair Space-efficient VDisk from the task list. Click Go. The Repairing Space-Efficient VDisks panel is displayed.
Select the VDisk copy to repair and click OK.
