If the metadata file is available but the transaction logs volume and database volume are missing, you can use the snapshot set to restore the mailbox database to the point in time that the snapshot set was created or last refreshed.
Complete the following tasks to perform a VSS-integrated recovery:
Identify the snapshot volume associated with each missing production volume. Note the drive letter or mount point of each volume.
Delete the missing volumes from Storage Foundation.
Replace the failed hardware and add the new disks to the dynamic disk group.
See Replacing hardware and adding disks to the dynamic disk group.
Reassign the drive letters or mount points of the snapshot volumes so that they are the same as the missing production volumes.
See Changing the drive letter or mount points of the snapshot volumes.
Use vxsnap restore to recover the databases.
See Restoring the Exchange 2010 mailbox database to the point in time .
Refresh the snapshot set.
