Validating a Virtual Copy
You can validate a mounted virtual copy with Exchange APIs through Recovery Manager.
To validate an existing mounted virtual copy for a particular storage group, right-click the virtual
copy you want to mount, and then select Validate.
Removing Virtual Copies
You can remove two types of virtual copy: virtual copies with a status of Available, and virtual
copies with a status of Removed.
WARNING! If you remove a virtual copy from the HP 3PAR Storage System while Recovery
Manager is creating a backup, and you then delete this virtual copy from the Recovery Manager
repository before a restore operation has taken place, all data is lost and you cannot recover the
storage group.
Table 6 Virtual Copy Status Descriptions
Description Virtual Copy Status
A virtual copy has a status of Available when it exists in the HP 3PAR Storage
System and in the Recovery Manager repository, and it is currently not mounted
to a host. Available
A virtual copy has a status of Mounted when it is mounted to a host. The virtual
copy exists in both the HP 3PAR Storage System and the Recovery Manager
repository. Mounted
Removing “Available” Virtual Copies
NOTE: You cannot remove a virtual copy if it is mounted to a host server. To remove a virtual
copy from the HP 3PAR Storage System and the Recovery Manager repository, the virtual copy
must have a status of Available.
1. Ensure the virtual copy has a status of Available. If it is mounted to a host server, unmount it.
For more information, see “Unmounting a Virtual Copy” (page 41) .
2. In the node tree pane, right-click the virtual copy and select Remove.
Removing “Removed” Virtual Copies
If you opted to automatically remove the newly created virtual copy from the HP 3PAR Storage
System after successful backup, Recovery Manager retains the virtual copy, with a status of Removed,
in the Recovery Manager repository for restore purposes. For more information on the removal
option, see
“Manually Creating Backups at the Storage Group Level” (page 42) .
To remove a virtual copy that has a status of Removed from the Recovery Manager repository,
right-click the virtual copy and select Delete Backup.
