Restoring a volume in a mirror relationship

For a version-independent mirror relationship, you can use Storage Manager to restore Snapshot copies to a source volume or to 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 cluster and the destination cluster or on the nodes that contain the source volume and destination volume.

  • The source cluster and destination cluster must be in a healthy peer relationship.

  • The source aggregate or any 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 mirror relationship between a source storage virtual machine (SVM) and a destination SVM in a MetroCluster configuration.

  • You cannot perform a restore operation on SnapLock volumes.

  • You can restore a mirror relationship between sync-source SVMs in a MetroCluster configuration.

  • You can restore a mirror relationship from a volume on a sync-source SVM to a default SVM.

  • You can restore a mirror relationship from a volume on a default SVM to a DP volume on a sync-source SVM.
