4. It may be possible to use the INSTALL.NLM option Change Hot Fix to
determine the number of Hot Fix Redirection blocks set up for this
partition. Otherwise, refer to the section “Using CPQDAOPT on
NetWare Servers,” in Chapter 5 for more information about optimizing
the performance.
NOTE: Even though the logical drive may have a valid partition table, the data
on this logical drive is no longer valid. Some data may appear valid because
the failed physical drive is only a portion of the arrayed logical drive. However,
there is a hole in the logical drive data at this point. Delete any old, invalid data
and create a new partition on the logical drive.
5. Return to the INSTALL.NLM Disk Options menu. Select the Partition
Tables Option. The driver should reactivate the failed logical drive. The
driver sends a console alert if reactivation of the failed logical drive is
successful. In the INSTALL.NLM Available Disk Drives menu, select the
previously failed logical drive that has now been repaired. The device
information was recorded in Step 1. For example:
NWPA: [V503-A2-D1:0] Compaq SMART-2 Slot 8 Disk 2 NFT
Select the Delete Partition option. INSTALL may display several error
messages. Delete the volume associated with this partition. Since you
will delete this partition, do not update any Volume Definition Table
information. Continue until the partition has been deleted.
If INSTALL reports that it cannot delete the partition because another
process has it locked, load MONITOR and look at the System Resources
option to determine which NLM has locked the device. If it is
MONITOR.NLM, you will need to unload MONITOR and any other
NLMs that have the partition locked. After you create the partition and
volume information, reload these NLMs.
6. Create the partition on the same logical drive.
7. Create and mount the volume.
8. Locate the recent back-up media and restore the data to this server
volume.
