When the abovementioned recovery check function is disabled, failback will not be executed even 
though failed paths have recovered from the failures.   In such a case, use the -failback option or the 
-failbackall option of the spscmd to execute forced failback. (This function is not for Windows Server 
2003.) 
 C:\>spscmd -getlun 
*** LogicalUnit #0 *** 
  X 0: Priority=2, PathNumber=4:0:0:0 
>   1: Priority=1, PathNumber=5:0:1:0 
C:\>spscmd -failback 4:0:0:0 
C:\>spscmd -getlun 
*** LogicalUnit #0 *** 
>   0: Priority=2, PathNumber=4:0:0:0 
  1: Priority=1, PathNumber=5:0:1:0

The -failback option executes failback targeting the specified paths.  Meanwhile, the -failbackall option 
executes failback targeting all failed paths.   In both cases, failback will be unsuccessful for the paths yet to 
be recovered.
