Starting a virtual manager to regain quorum
Only start a virtual manager when it is needed to regain quorum in a management group. Figure 57
(page 132) illustrates the correct way to start a virtual manager when necessary to regain quorum.
When starting a virtual manager, it should ideally be on a storage manager that is not already
running a manager. However, if necessary, you can start a virtual manager on a storage system
that is already running a manager, as shown in Figure 59 (page 134).
1. Select the storage system on which you want to start the virtual manager.
2. Click Storage System Tasks on the Details tab, and select Start Virtual Manager.
