requires substantial knowledge of the RAID level and the nature of the logical device failure.
Even if this operation can force the logical device online,
all data on this logical device may be lost if one or more disks contain outdated data.

All available disk segments that constitute this logical device will be forced online;
the data they contain will be used as valid data.
If you are not sure, abort and contact your service representative.
