The process of recovering from an interrupted write has failed. An interrupted write occurs when power fails or a RAID controller module resets while there is data still in cache. Typically, when the RAID controller module goes through its initialization, the data still in cache is written to the virtual disks. An unrecovered interrupted write occurs when the RAID controller module cannot successfully write the data to one or more of the virtual disks because the disk group has failed during RAID controller module initialization. The disk group has been placed offline and its associated physical disks have either been failed or placed offline. Typically, with an unrecovered interrupted write, only the virtual disks where the interrupted write occurred will lose data.
Caution: Risk of data loss. Recovery
from an Unrecovered Interrupted Write is a complicated procedure that, if done
incorrectly, could result in the loss of data. Therefore, you should not
attempt to perform any recovery steps without the help of your technical
support representative.

Use the convention "filename.zip" for the name of the file. (The suffix .zip will be added to the file automatically if you do not specify one.) You may also specify another physical disk and directory if you want to save the file in a location other than the default. |
