During the restore process you can monitor the progress in the Recent Tasks
pane of the VSM GUI. During a restore by copy a new PS Series volume will
appear that is the clone of the PS Series snapshot. It will be appended with
VSM-temp. When vCenter rescans you will see a new datastore appended with
snap- and the name of the base datastore. The volumes will be cleaned up and
deleted after the restore by copy is completed.
NOTE: During a restore by rollback, the PS Series SAN will create a temporary
snapshot of the volume with Description: “Snapshot from restore”. This can be
used to recovery from in case the rollback was incorrect or done in error. This
snapshot will need to be manually cleaned up from Group Manager GUI after
the rollback has been verified completed. This is listed as additional user tasks
to complete in the tasks pane.
