Content:
Detaching a subdisk in the named RAID-5 volume has caused the volume to enter "degraded" mode. While in degraded mode, performance of the RAID-5 volume is substantially reduced. More importantly, failure of another subdisk may leave the RAID-5 volume unusable. Also, if the RAID-5 volume does not have an active log, then failure of the system may leave the volume unusable.

If hot-relocation is enabled, Veritas Volume Manager objects affected by the disk failure are taken care of automatically. Mail is sent to root indicating what actions were taken by VxVM, and what further actions you should take.
