Reactivating volumes

Last published : Jun 19, 2026
The Management Server console lets you reactivate one or more volumes on a managed host.
You can reactivate a volume if the selected volume is a Storage Foundation volume which is in a disabled state. This operation is not supported on UNIX host.
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.

  1. In the Management Server console, go to the Server perspective and expand Manage in the left pane.
  2. Expand the Organization or Uncategorized Hosts to locate the host.
  3. Expand the host and then expand Volumes to locate the volume to be reactivated.
  4. Right-click on the required volume and select Reactivate.
  5. In the Reactivate Volume wizard panel, confirm the volume you want to reactivate. Click OK.
  6. In the Result panel, verify that the selected volume has been reactivated successfully.
