An array has failed and cannot be repaired due to a modification operation failure. The Recovery Guru Details area provides specific information you will need as you follow the recovery steps.
1 | If you have flashcopy logical drives associated with the affected array, these flashcopy logical drives will no longer be valid.
Delete all flashcopy logical drives associated with the affected array. |
||||||
2 | Refer to the Array status
in the Logical View of the Subsystem Management Window (AMW) or in
the Storage Subsystem Profile to determine your backup options:
|
||||||
3 | Highlight the affected array in the Logical View of the AMW, and then select the Array >> Delete menu option. | ||||||
4 | Ensure that only the affected array that is listed in the Details area is selected in the Delete Arrays dialog, and then click the Delete button. | ||||||
5 | Using the Free Capacity, create a
new array to replace the one you just deleted. You will
also need to re-create the logical drives that existed on the previous
array. Result: The logical drives in the array are initialized, one at a time. When initialization starts on a logical drive, the icon changes to Operation in Progress. When initialization is completed, all logical drives in the array are Optimal. Notes:

6 | Click the Recheck button to rerun the Recovery Guru. The failure should no longer appear in the Summary area. If the failure appears again, contact your technical support representative, otherwise, go to step 7. | ||||||
7 | If desired, create any flashcopies that you deleted in step 2. | ||||||
8 | Add the newly-created replacement logical drives to the operating system. You may need to reboot the system to see the logical drives.
Note: Do not start I/O to these logical drives until after you restore from backup. |
||||||
9 | Restore the data for the logical drives from backup media. |
