HP Storage Provisioning Manager (SPM) version 2.1 User Guide

Volumes to those services. For information on this process, see Manually assigning a volume to a
storage service.
When restoring from backup, SPM puts all volumes into quarantine, and the user must manually
take them out of quarantine as appropriate. If the management signature is not present, is corrupt,
or has changed since recovery, the user should manually inspect the volume to ensure it is safe to
bring out of the quarantine state. When the user has completed all desired manual actions in
response to the status of recovered volumes and is ready to begin normal operations, the user
should take SPM out of recovery mode by clicking on the item saying “Exit Manual Recovery”
displayed when SPM is in manual recovery mode.
Some volumes that were imported into SPM after the most recent backup will not be in SPM's
catalog after the backup has been restored, and will not be handled by the procedures above. To
recover those volumes, the user must re-import them into SPM. The SPM import wizard indicates
those volumes that were previously owned by the current instance of SPM. These volumes are safe
to import. Volumes that are owned by other instances of SPM may or may not be safe to import,
depending on the current state of those instances of SPM.
