Volume Selection for Alternate Indexes

Also, CA Disk must decide the volumes to which the alternate indexes are to be restored. If the base cluster is being restored to its original volume, the alternate indexes will automatically be restored to their original volumes, even if they were different from the base's. If the base cluster is restored to new volume(s), CA Disk uses the following logic for placement of the alternate indexes:

• If the alternate index originally resided on the same volumes as the base cluster, the new volumes will be used for the alternate index as well.
• The alternate index will go back to its original volume(s).
