Recover a Failed Resource

If a resource fails and no automated recovery action is performed, the resource remains in the FAILED actual state, and you need to recover the resource manually.

To recover a failed resource

1. Ensure that the resource is in the MANUAL operation mode. If the mode is AUTOMATED, enter MM beside the resource to set its operation mode to MANUAL. This indicates to other operators that the resource is being attended to.
2. Enter L beside the resource to access its transient log. The log provides information about the cause of the problem, which helps you determine the actions to take.
3. Correct the problem, and ensure that the resource can be safely restarted.

   Note: You can use the Command Entry facility to issue system commands. Enter CMD at the prompt, and issue the SYSCMD command from the Command Entry panel.

4. Enter CHK or RES beside the resource to reset the status of the resource. If the resource is in the AUTOMATED operation mode, automation restarts for the resource. If the resource is in the MANUAL operation mode, enter A beside the resource to start it.

   Note: For the differences between the CHK and RES commands, see the online help.
