About this task
If the volume that is reported offline was not taken offline deliberately, that volume might be offline for several reasons.
Starting at the offline volume's Volume / Health details page, you can navigate to other pages and panes to confirm or eliminate possible causes:
Choices
-
Click Volume / Health details page links to determine if the volume is offline because its host node is down and storage failover to its HA pair partner has failed also.
-
Click Volume / Health details page links to determine if the volume is offline and its host storage virtual machine (SVM) is stopped because the node hosting the root volume of that SVM is down.
-
Click Volume / Health details page links to determine if the volume is offline because of broken disks in its host aggregate.
