Removing a Disk from the Storage Pool
A storage pool disk is both physically attached to the DPM server and programmatically attached
by DPM to the storage pool.
When a disk that belongs to the storage pool is physically removed or fails, DPM sends an alert
that there is a missing volume. The missing volume also displays on the Disks tab in
the Management task area.
In the missing volume alert Details pane, you will see that there is a link to remove the disk from
the storage pool. When you click this link, you remove the programmatic attachment.
If you remove the disk from the storage pool and later bring the disk online again, DPM cannot
access the existing data on it. If DPM labels a disk as "missing volume" and you do not remove
the disk from the storage pool, when you bring the disk online again, DPM will remap the volumes
on the disk and can access the existing data on it.

Monitoring DPM Server
After you set up data protection, you should monitor DPM activity to verify that everything is
working correctly and to troubleshoot any problems that occur. Monitoring is essential to give you
an overview of what has already happened, what is currently happening, and what is scheduled
to happen. By monitoring DPM, you will know that data protection activities are working as
expected, and you will have confidence that errors and warnings will be brought to your attention
when they occur.
