Restoring a Storage Group with File Copy Restore

1.

In the node tree pane, right-click the virtual copy you want to use for the restore, and select
Restore Using

→File Copy.

2.

To confirm you understand the warning, check the Click to continue checkbox.

3.

Click Ok.

Recovery Manager overwrites the storage group with the virtual copy. The storage group is
now restored.

Restoring a Storage Group with Volume Restore

WARNING!

DO NOT perform a volume restore if multiple storage groups (or any data files)

share any volumes. Data file suffixes are: .LOG, .EDB, and .CHK.

To determine how or whether your storage groups share volumes, execute the
chk_multi_storage.cmd

script. By default, this script is installed at:

Program Files/3PAR/RM/Exchange/bin

If you perform a volume restore on a volume that hosts multiple storage groups and/or data files,
the operation deletes all storage group data not contained in the promoted virtual copy.

1.

In the node tree pane, locate the virtual copy you want to use to restore the storage group
and select Restore Using

→Volume.

2.

To confirm you understand the ramifications of proceeding with the restore, check the Click
to continue checkbox.

3.

Click Ok.

The virtual copy completely overwrites the storage group volume. The storage group is now
restored.
