Recovering an independent auxiliary storage pool

Perform this procedure if one of the these situations is true.

Independent auxiliary storage pools (ASPs) are called independent disk pools in System i® Navigator.

• The service representative has replaced a failed disk unit in an independent ASP. If a disk unit is not parity protected or mirrored, when you lose that disk unit in an ASP, you must recover all of the information in that ASP. The information in other ASPs on your system is not affected.
• The system has reassigned sectors on a disk unit, but object damage has occurred.
• You are performing a full system recovery and have been directed to this procedure from a recovery checklist.

The independent ASP that you recover must be in the Available state to perform the restore.
