trust Description Enables an offline vdisk to be brought online for emergency data recovery. This command must be enabled before each use. CAUTION: This command can cause unstable operation and data loss if used improperly. It is intended for disaster recovery only. CAUTION: Do not use this command on a vdisk having critical status. Instead, add a spare and let the system reconstruct the vdisk. The trust command resynchronizes the time and date stamp and any other metadata on a bad disk. This makes the disk an active member of the vdisk again. You might need to do this when a vdisk is offline because a disk is failing, you have no data backup, and you want to try to recover the data from the vdisk. In this case, trust may work, but only as long as the failing disk continues to operate. When the "trusted" vdisk is back online, back up its data and audit the data to make sure that it is intact. Then delete that vdisk, create a new vdisk, and restore data from the backup to the new vdisk. Using a trusted vdisk is only a disaster-recovery measure; the vdisk has no tolerance for any additional failures.
