Define a job to restore the IBM Storage® Protect Plus catalog from a cloud storage system.

Procedure

To restore the catalog from a cloud storage system:
  1. In the navigation panel, click Manage Protection > IBM Storage Protect Plus > Restore.
  2. Click the From Cloud Storage tab.
  3. Click the cloud storage system that contains the snapshot that you want to use to restore the catalog.
    Available snapshots for the cloud storage system are displayed.
  4. Click Restore for the catalog snapshot that you want.
  5. Review the information in the Catalog Restore dialog box, and then select one of the following restore modes:
    Restore the catalog and suspend all scheduled jobs
    The catalog is restored and all scheduled jobs are left in a suspended state. No scheduled jobs are started, which allows for the validation and testing of catalog entries and the creation of new jobs. Typically, this option is used in DevOps use cases.
    Restore the catalog
    The catalog is restored and all scheduled jobs continue to run as captured in the catalog backup. Typically, this option is used in disaster recovery.
    Expire in-place snapshots for container workloads
    If the catalog is restored from an OpenShift Container Platform (OCP) cluster to an alternative OCP cluster, the in-place snapshots on the original cluster are expired after the restore operation completes. References to the snapshots are removed and you can no longer restore from an in-place snapshot that was created on the original OCP cluster.
  6. Click Restore.
