At this point, you can restore the volume on the PS Series group, which moves the volume out of the recovery bin and back into the list of normal volumes. The next asmcli list smart-copy --check-status command you enter restores the Smart Copy and the status of the Smart Copy changes from hidden to a normal state. If you then enter asmcli list smart-copy, the Smart Copy is visible and you can mount the Smart Copy. You can also manually purge the volume from the Group Manager, which deletes it from the recovery bin. (Over time, the PS Series group automatically purges the volume if you do not manually purge it.) After the volume has been removed from the recovery bin, a subsequent asmcli list smart-copy --check-status command causes ASM/LE to delete the Smart Copy completely, because the volume no longer exists. A serious issue can occur when you delete a Smart Copy clone and then enter an asmcli list smart-copy --check-status command with different credentials. This situation is further complicated if you use different credentials that prevent access to volumes in the recovery bin. In this example, the user's default credentials provided volume administrator (voladmin) access to all volumes for the local host (rhel69x). When you enter an asmcli list smart-copy - -check-status command and specify a different set of voladmin credentials, 52 Introduction to ASM/LE
