Restore a VMAX storage group backup to the original location
A Storage Direct host restore to the original location enables you to rollback data from primary or replicated storage group snapshot backups to the same location on the original host by using the
PowerProtect Data Manager UI.
Prerequisites
Unmount all of the production LUNs in the original storage group.
Steps
In the
PowerProtect Data Manager UI, go to
Restore > Assets and select the
VMAX Storage Groups tab.
The
Restore window displays all of the storage groups.
Select the check box next to the storage group that contains the backup, and click
View Copies.
You can also use the
Search field, the filter in the
Name column to locate a specific storage group.
The
Restore > Assets window provides a map view in the left pane and copy details in the right pane.
When you select a specific location in the left pane to view the copies, for example, on a
protection storage system, the copies on that system are displayed in the right pane.
In the left pane, click the first
DD icon to display the copies on the primary
protection storage system, or the second
DD to display the replica copies on the secondary
protection storage system.
In the right pane, select the check box next to the storage group snapshot backup or replica that you want to restore, and then click
Restore.
The
Restore wizard opens on the
Select Copy page.
On the
Select Copy page, select
Restore all the copies linked with Backup Operation if you want to restore all Storage Groups that are part of this backup, and then click
Next.
NOTE If you leave the check box unselected, the backup of only the storage group that you selected in the
Restore > Assets window will be restored.
On the
Restore Type page, select
Restore to Original and Overwrite Original Storage Group, and then click
Next.
NOTE The files at the original location will be overwritten. If you saved any additional files to this location after the backup, these files will be lost upon rollback.
On the
Summary page, click
Finish to start the restore.
Once the restore completes successfully, you can mount LUNs in the destination storage group to any host.
Go to the
Jobs window to monitor the restore.
A restore job appears with a progress bar and start time.
