You can add unprotected data to an existing dataset, even if the dataset is currently unprotected. You can browse and add an entire host, or individual aggregates, volumes, qtrees, virtual machines, or
Open Systems SnapVault directories on the host.
Before you begin
- Determine the name of the dataset to which you want to add the resource.
- You must be authorized to perform all the steps of this task; your RBAC administrator can confirm your authorization in advance.
Steps
- From the menu bar, click .
- Select the resource that you want to add to a dataset:
- Select one or more hosts that contain the data that you want to protect.
The aggregates, volumes, and qtrees contained in that host are displayed in the bottom left pane, in a hierarchical list.
- (Optional) Use the
View Resources buttons to select which resource type to display, then select the specific aggregates, volumes, qtrees, hosts, or
Open Systems SnapVault directories that contain the unprotected data that you want to add to a dataset.
- Click
Add to existing Dataset.
A dialog box opens, from which you can select an existing dataset. This list includes both protected and unprotected datasets.
- Verify that the existing dataset contains the new resource by viewing the dataset member list in the
Datasets window Overview tab.
Result
The qtrees, volumes, aggregates, or hosts that you added to the dataset are displayed in the
Datasets window and are no longer displayed in the hierarchy or host lists in the
Unprotected Data window Resources tab.
After you finish
To protect the data in the dataset, you must assign a protection policy to the dataset.
