Reviving Disk Groups, Physical Disks, Snapshot Groups, And Snapshot Virtual
Disks
The revive command forces failed physical disks, disk groups, snapshot groups and snapshot virtual
disks into an Optimal state. However, this command should only be performed by qualified storage
administrators.
CAUTION: Possible loss of data access—Correct use of this command depends on the data
configuration on the physical disks in the disk group. Do not attempt to revive a physical disk or
disk group unless you are explicitly directed by your Technical Support representative.
To revive a physical disk:
revive physicalDisk [enclosureID,drawerID,slotID]
For MD-series dense storage arrays, all three location attributes (enclosureID, drawerID and slotID) are
required. For non-dense storage arrays, only enclosureID and slotID are required. Valid enclosureID
values are 0 to 99, drawerID values are 0 to 4 and slotID values are 0 to 31.
To revive disk group:
revive diskGroup [diskGroupName]
To revive a snapshot virtual disk, the snapshot virtual disk must be a:
• standalone snapshot virtual disk
• snapshot virtual disk that is a member of a consistency group
If the snapshot virtual disk is not in a Failed state, the firmware displays an error message and does not
run this command.
revive snapVirtualDisk ["snapVirtualDiskName"]
NOTE: This command for a snapshot virtual disk used in online virtual disk copy.
To revive a snapshot group:
revive snapGroup ["snapGroupName"]
