Restoring from snapshots

  • It is possible to restore from any point in time snapshot that is available in the array. The following shows how to restore from a snapshot to the production volume using the CLI commands. It is recommended to unmount the production volume before issuing the restore operation and remount after to ensure that the host sees the correct data.  Users can determine which snapshot to use by verifying the data through a linked target with the link or relink commands.

    That the example above shows the command-line option restoring from generation 2 of a snapshot to the source volume.
