container restore RAID5

To restore a RAID-5 set, use the container restore RAID5
command. Typically, you use this command to restore a RAID-5 set
that contains one or more dead partitions. This command does not
always succeed and, in fact, you should use this command if all
other measures to restore the RAID-5 set fail.
One situation where the command might prove useful is for those
situations where you may have inadvertently pulled a drive and
then almost immediately put it back. The act of pulling the drive
may cause some dead partitions to appear. You can then restore the
RAID-5 set by using this command.

Syntax

container restore RAID5 {container}

Parameters

{container}
Specifies the ID number (0 to 63) of the array (a RAID-5 set) to
restore.

Examples

Before restoring a RAID-5 set, use the container list command
to display information about the RAID-5 set. If a partition is dead,
the ":" (colon) in the Partition Offset:Size column changes to a "!"
(exclamation point).
