5.2.3 Recovering Data from an Out of Sync Disk

After a server disk is unmirrored, its status is listed as either Not Mirrored or Out of Sync
on the Disk Partition Mirroring Status list.
Checking Mirror Status
1 At the server console command prompt, enter
Resynchronizing the Mirror
When a server disk is listed as Out of Sync, the operating system does not recognize any volume
information on it. Use this procedure to recover data from an Out of Sync partition.

(GB).
If you plan to make this a mirrored partition, it must be compatible in data area size with other
partitions you plan to use. The physical size of the partition must be at least 100 KB, but no
more than 120 MB larger than the data size of the existing partitions in the mirror group.
following options:
Create New Mirror: This option means you are making the partition capable of being
part of a mirror group. You do not actually create the group until you add another mirrored
partition to the partition you are creating.
Existing Mirror Group: (If you select this option, also select the ID of the mirrored
partition.) This shows a list of existing mirror groups that are compatible in data area size.
This option lets you add this new partition to one of the mirror groups in the list.
If this is a mirrored partition, NetWare displays the status as "100% mirrored" when the
mirroring is complete.
This removes the partition from the mirror group. You can now delete the partition, if desired.
