Recover disk pool group

If the primary disk pool for a secondary disk pool is deleted, or if the primary disk pool is not aware of the secondary disk pool, the secondary disk pool needs to be re-associated with a primary disk pool. You can recover the disk pool group through iSeries™ Navigator.

To recover a disk pool group, follow these steps:

1. In iSeries Navigator, expand My Connections (or your active environment).
2. Expand any iSeries server.
3. Expand Configuration and Service.
4. Expand Hardware.
5. Expand Disk Units.
6. If the Service Tools Signon dialog box displays, sign on to service tools.
7. Select Disk Pools.
8. Verify that the required primary disk pool exists. If it does not, you must Create a disk pool.
9. In the right pane you can select one or more secondary disk pools that need to be associated with the primary disk pool. Right-click all the secondary Disk Pools that need to be associated with a primary disk pool and select Recover Group.
10. On the Confirm Recover Disk Pool Group dialog box, select the primary disk pool that you want associated with the secondary disk pools. Only the primary disk pools that are currently owned by the system are available to select. You cannot change the primary after you perform this action.
11. Click Recover Group.
