to disks in the original storage and then the

disks are switched with the source volume

disks. The old source volumes are retained.

• With the Retain source for forensics option

not selected, the source volumes are

overwritten during the copy process. Even if

the instant recovery fails, you may lose the

data in the source volumes.

After restore, the replica is not deleted from the

replica set or the SMISDB and is still available

for another instant recovery session until the

replica is deleted from the replica set rotation

during backups.

This method takes about as much time as the

whole creation of this replica did, but maintains

the redundancy level and the original EVA disk

group. Default: selected

Select this option to switch the snapclone disks

from the specified backup session with the source

Switch to the

replica/-switch

volumes. The WWNs of the source volumes are

assigned to the snapclones and they are

presented in the place of the source volumes.

Once restored, the session is not available for

another instant recovery session and the

information about the replica is deleted from

SMISDB.

This method is much faster than the copy replica

data process, but note that after restore, the new

source volumes can have redundancy level of

lower quality and can be located in a different

EVA disk group.

Default: not selected.

Select this option if you want to wait for the copy process to complete.

Before an actual copy process, the storage allocation for the-wait_clonecopy

snapclones to be restored is created and though the copy is only

virtual at that time, it is immediately available for use. However, in

the background, the copy process runs for some time to copy all data
