Recovering a Partition
Recover a VTL partition if the source system is unavailable and you need
to access the partition (for example, to continue performing backups).
When you recover a partition, you select a received snapshot. The
DXi8500 uses the snapshot to recreate the partition on the target
system just as it was at the point in time when the snapshot was saved.
Note:
To recover a partition, the target system must support the
library emulation and drive type used in the original partition.
For a list of the available library emulations and drive types on
the target system, see Adding a VTL Partition on page 284.
To recover a partition:
1 On the target system, select a snapshot in the Snapshots List and
click
Recover
.
The Recovered Partition Name page displays (see Figure 115 ).
