Recovering disks

Last published : Jun 19, 2026
The Management Server console lets you recover the faulted disks that are controlled by Storage Foundation and bring the volumes that use these disks back into function. In the State column in the list of disks, you can identify a recoverable disk by the label 'In Use - Recoverable'. These disks are highlighted with a warning icon on the list of disks.
To perform this task, your user group must be assigned the Admin role on the host or the Server perspective. The permission on the host may be explicitly assigned or inherited from a parent Organization.
Note: Recover operation of the faulted disks can be time consuming. Based on the volume of data in the disks, this operation is completed within a few hours or days.

  2. Expand the Organization or Uncategorized Hosts to locate the host.
  3. Expand the host and select Disk Groups and click on theDisks tab.
