Hi,

I noticed that if i have a volume associated with a raid 1 or raid 5,and if a plex from mirror failed or a subdisk from raid 5 failed,then the volume is still active if the DG was imported previously and during the time plex or subdisk failed.

I like to know if i import a DG and a volume as above is associated with a mirror or a raid 5 and if a plex from mirror failed or a subdisk from raid 5 failed,then the volume is disabled (stopped).

tnx

If any one of the subdisk in  a mirrored volume is disabled/offline or any other state and other subdisk  is in Enabled state file system can still be accessed using the Enabled subdisk which is in good state.

There are few troubleshooting that can be done on the subdisk/plex, depending on what state they are in.

Why are you asking these questions? Have you encountered any such issue? If yes, please copy the vxprint -qhtr output.

That is the whole idea with Raid 1 and raid 5 - it provides redundancy.
