Restoring a volume in a vault relationship

You can use System Manager to restore Snapshot copies to a source or other volumes if the source data is corrupted and is no longer usable. You can replace the original data with the Snapshot copies in the destination volume.

Before you begin

The SnapMirror license must be enabled on both the source and the destination storage systems or the nodes that contain the source and destination volumes.
The source and destination clusters must be in a healthy peer relationship.
The source aggregate or the other aggregate that you select for the restore operation must be a 64-bit aggregate.

About this task

You cannot restore a volume that is in a vault relationship between a source Storage Virtual Machine (SVM) and a destination SVM in a MetroCluster configuration.
You can restore a vault relationship between sync-source SVMs in a MetroCluster configuration.
You can restore a vault relationship from a volume on a sync-source SVM to a default SVM.
You can restore a vault relationship from a volume on a default SVM to a DP volume on a sync-source SVM.

Steps

Expand the Storage Virtual Machines hierarchy in the left navigation pane.
In the navigation pane, select the SVM, and click Protection.
In the right pane, click the vault relationship, and then click Operations > Restore.
In the Restore dialog box, restore the data to the source volume in the vault relationship or select any other volume:
If you want to restore to... Do the following...
The source volume
Select Source volume.

Go to Step 7.
Any other volume Select Other volume, and select the cluster and SVM from the list.

If you want to restore to...	Do the following...
The source volume	Select Source volume. Go to Step 7.
Any other volume	Select Other volume, and select the cluster and SVM from the list.

Restore the data to a new volume or select any existing volume:

If you want to...	Do the following...
Create a new volume	If you want to change the default name, displayed in the format `destination_SVM_name_destination_volume_name_` restore, specify a new name and select the containing aggregate for the volume.
Select an existing volume	Select the Select Volume option. You must select a volume other than the source volume, or a read/write volume with some data in it and with a common Snapshot copy. Only those volumes with the same language attribute as the source volume are listed.

If you want to...

Do the following...

Create a new volume

If you want to change the default name, displayed in the format destination_SVM_name_destination_volume_name_ restore, specify a new name and select the containing aggregate for the volume.

Select an existing volume

Select the Select Volume option.

You must select a volume other than the source volume, or a read/write volume with some data in it and with a common Snapshot copy.

Only those volumes with the same language attribute as the source volume are listed.

Select the latest Snapshot copy or select the specific Snapshot copy that you want to restore.
Select the confirmation check box to restore the volume from the Snapshot copy.
Optional: Select the Enable Network Compression check box to compress the data that is being transferred during the restore operation.
Click Restore.
