The Attach Disk command connects the disks and enables access to the disks.

Note the following:

The attach disk operation can only be performed on the disks that are in the detach state.
You may attach disks that may or may not contain any data.
When attaching a disk and bringing it online, the disk's volumes should be reactivated and any redundant volumes should be synchronized automatically.
When an Attach Disk command is issued for the disks, the disks come back online and volumes return to the state they were in at the time of the detach (assuming that all the disks in the disk group are present).

Note:

Dynamic disks belonging to a Microsoft Disk Management Disk Group do not support the Attach Disk command.

To attach disks

Select the disks in a dynamic disk group or the individual disks, and select Attach Disk from the menu.
Click Yes to attach the disks.
The Attach Disk command automatically resynchronizes the plexes of redundant volumes that are contained on the specified disks. However, non-redundant volumes must be reactivated manually.
