Restoring virtual disks (Instant Restore) Restore a virtual disk by replacing its data with data from one of its replicas. Considerations • You can use the GUI, jobs, or the CLUI. See virtual disks actions cross reference. IMPORTANT: HP recommends restoring by using GUI actions. • The virtual disk to restore must already have a replica (mirrorclone, snapclone, or snapshot) that was created by the replication manager. Only those replicas can be selected in the Instant Restore wizard. • Before using the following procedure, ensure there is no host I/O to the virtual disk to restore or its replica. • If either disk is part of a host volume, do not use the procedure below. Instead, use the procedure restoring a host volume (Instant Restore). See also host volumes overview. • A virtual disk cannot be restored from a snapshot of its mirrorclone. To restore from a mirrorclone, the mirrorclone must be fractured. See fractured mirrorclones and fracturing mirrorclones. Procedure This procedure uses the GUI. 1. In the navigation pane, select Virtual Disks. 2. On the List tab, select the virtual disk to restore. 3. Select Actions > Instant Restore. The Instant Restore wizard opens. Follow the instructions in the wizard. Low-level refreshing virtual disks Perform a low-level refresh of specific virtual disks and containers. See virtual disks low-level refresh.
