Recovery
When the database server recovers a mirror chunk, it performs the same recovery procedure that it uses when mirroring begins. The mirror-recovery process consists of copying the data from the existing online chunk onto the new, repaired chunk until the two are identical.
When
you initiate recovery, the database server puts the down chunk in
recovery mode and copies the information from the online chunk to
the recovery chunk. When the recovery is complete, the chunk automatically
receives online status. You perform the same steps whether you are
recovering the primary chunk of a mirrored pair or recovering the
mirror chunk.
Tip: You can still use the online chunk during
the recovery process. If data is written to a page that has already
been copied to the recovery chunk, the database server updates the
corresponding page on the recovery chunk before it continues with
the recovery process.
