Replacing a failed vSnap server

In an IBM Storage® Protect Plus environment, the target vSnap server is the destination for backing up data. If the vSnap server becomes corrupted or fails to respond, you can replace the vSnap server with a new server and recover the stored data.

Before you begin

Important: Do not unregister the failed vSnap server from IBM Storage Protect Plus. The failed server must remain registered for the replacement procedure to work correctly.

One or more active, initialized vSnap replica servers must exist in the environment to successfully complete this process.
