Places the volume in a state from which it can be started.

Responsive Test

Verifies that the disk drive is installed and responding.

Start Backup Path

Starts the backup path to this disk drive. When the Start action completes, the backup path is in the
Started state.

This action fails if both paths to this disk are down and the mirrored disk is Up. For more
information, see

Start Disk

.

Start Disk

Use this action to start all paths to the disk drive only when:

The disk paths are in a Down state. (Hard Down states require a reset action, either

Reset Disk

,

Reset Primary Path

, or

Reset Backup Path

as appropriate.)

Its mirrored disk is not currently Up. The Start Disk action is designed to fail if the mirrored
disk is already in an Up state because the mirror and primary disk volumes can have different
data and require a revive operation. To revive and bring up the disks properly, use the OSM

Start Volume

action or SCF START DISK command.

When the action completes successfully, all paths to the disk are in the Started state.

Start Primary Path

Starts the primary path to this disk drive. When the Start action completes, the primary path is in the
Started state.

This action fails if both paths to this disk are down and the mirrored disk is Up. For more
information, see

Start Disk

.

Start Volume

Starts all paths for both the primary and mirror drives of this volume unless they are in a Hard Down
state. Disk paths in a Hard Down state require a reset action first (either

Reset Disk

,

Reset Primary

Path

, or

Reset Backup Path

as appropriate).

Stop Backup Path

Terminates the backup path to the disk. When the Stop action finishes, the path is in a Down state. If
the disk drive is currently in use, a dialog box warns you and asks whether or not you want to
continue with the action.
