Use this procedure to verify the status of objects in your system using the management GUI. If the status of the object is not online, view the alerts and run the recommended fix procedures.
Volumes normally show offline because another object is offline. A volume is offline if one of the MDisks that makes up the storage pool that it is in is offline. You do not see an alert that relates to the volume; instead, the alert relates to the MDisk. Performing the fix procedures for the MDisk enables the volume to go online.
