Use this page to recover stored virtual volumes for restoration of data.
Before you begin
Before initiating a cloud export recovery process, ensure the following:
- All VEC/VED’s are at R5.1 or higher code level.
- A copy of the database is required for recovery purposes.
- All devices are offline to the host throughout the process.
- Gather information about the last backup needed for recovery.
About this task
To recover a copy of a virtual volume for disaster recovery purposes, perform the following
steps:
Procedure
-
Select .
-
Enter the following: Container ID of the volume to be restored.
Note: The Container ID is generic. The user must always enter 19 alphanumeric characters.
- Container ID
- The container ID of the target vault where the database snapshot was stored. It can be found in
the Container pane of the TS7700 MI under the Cloud Tier Settings window.
- Serial number of the original TS7700
- The serial number of the corrupted TS7700.
- Cloud backup ID
- The ID of the backup volume version.
- Test Mode
- Toggle to enable or disable disaster recovery testing.
- Click Recover Cluster.
The TS7700 locates a backup list for the cluster serial number and then backup ID from the list
to retrieve the object name. Once the correct backup is located, the database backup from the cloud
is imported and the recovery process begins.
- If data is detected data in the system (meaning, logical volumes exist), the system must
be cleaned up before the recovery can continue.
