Recovering from file systems that are offline after the volumes
came back online
The problem that caused the file volumes to go offline long enough to cause the
file systems to become unmounted may have caused disks to be marked as failed
which will prevent the file system from being automatically mounting after the
volume comes back online.
About this task
The file systems will usually be automatically mounted as soon as the file volumes
come back online. However, if GPFS experienced IO errors as the volume went
offline then it may mark the disks as failed.
If this happens then the automatic mounting of the file system will not work and
the disks must be started using the Start All Disks action against the file system in
the management GUI before they are mounted using the management GUI.
