NAME
  volwatch - Monitor the Logical Storage Manager (LSM) for failure events

SYNOPSIS
  /usr/sbin/volwatch [mail-address...]

DESCRIPTION
  The volwatch script monitors the Logical Storage Manager, waiting for
  exception events to occur.  It then sends mail via mailx(1) to the login(s)
  specified on the command line, or to the default user of root.

  The volwatch script will call the volnotify command which waits for events
  to occur.  Once an event occurs, a 15 second delay will be inserted before
  analyzing the failures and sending a mail notification.  This prevents the
  recipient of mail from receiving too many separate messages for each event.

  Once a failure event has been analyzed the following messages (or portions
  of them, depending on the type of failure) can occur:

       Failures have been detected by the Logical Storage Manager:
       failed disks: medianame
       ...

       failed plexes: plexname
       ...

       failed volumes: volume_name
       ...

  The contents of failed volumes may be corrupted, and should be restored
  from any available backups.  To restart one of these volumes, so that you
  can restore it from backup, replace disks as appropriate, then use the
  command:

       volume -f start volume_name


  You can then restore or reinitialize the volume.
