About this task
The restore command restores the point-in-time relationships from the target volumes to the
source volumes of the FlashCopy session, and overwrites any data on the source volumes.
Follow these steps to restore a FlashCopy session:
Procedure
-
Log in to the Copy Services Manager GUI as a user with
administrative privileges.
-
Click Sessions.
-
From the Sessions overview page, select the FlashCopy session that you
want to restore.
Note: Copy Services Manager can currently only perform a

Notes:
- If Restore is not a command option, a flash operation has not been done.
You must perform a flash at least one time before you can do a restore.
- For DS8000 only: The Restore command is only available if
incremental or persistent is set. Incremental implies persistent. You can only restore if you have a
persistent relationship.

What to do next
When the session is in a new restored state, you can Restore it
again, Flash back, or Terminate the session.
