Use the following procedure to recover from a failure on the quorum disk when you can access either volume of a GAD pair from the server.

Overview of failure recovery



  1. Remove the failure on the quorum disk.
  2. Resynchronize GAD pairs if they are suspended by a failure.
    If a failure occurs after the one volume capacity of a GAD pair can be expanded, the creation, resync, swap resync, and horctakeover operations of the GAD pair cannot be performed because the capacity of both the volumes is not the same. Make sure to expand the other volume capacity so that the capacity of both the volumes is the same, and then retry the operation.
