Starting a virtual manager to regain quorum
Only start a virtual manager when it is needed to regain quorum in a management group.
Figure 51
(page 128)
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 53 (page 130)
.
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
