SYMPTOMS
Consider the following scenario:
 * You have a client computer that has dynamic disks that are mounted on a Remote Recover host computer.
 * The dynamic disks contain mirrored volumes.
 * After you use Remote Recover to repair the client computer, you dismount the client computer's dynamic disks.
 * On the client computer, you start the operating system.

In this scenario, the Windows Disk Management utility displays warning flags on the dynamic disks. Also, the following status appears for the mirrored volumes in the Disk Management utility:

Failed Redundancy

Note Remote Recover is a component of Winternals Administrator's Pak.



CAUSE
This problem occurs because the Remote Recover host computer writes a signature to the client computer's dynamic disks. When the Remote Recover host computer writes this signature, Remote Recover changes subtle properties of the mirrored volumes. However, after you dismount the client computer's dynamic disks, the signatures are not removed, and the signatures are not updated.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, follow these steps:
 * 1) On the client system, start the Disk Management utility.
 * 2) Right-click each disk that has the warning flag, and then click Reactivate Disk.
