Use a Replay to Manually Recover a Database
Dell recommends using Replay Manager to manage Replays. However, databases can be recovered using
Storage Center rather than Replay Manager during disaster recovery. This manual process provides the
same functionality as the Expose action in Replay Manager.
1. Create a view volume on the desired Replay for each database volume and map it to the database
server. Make sure all Replays are from the same restore point. For each database volume, do the
following:
a. In the Storage Center, right-click the desired Replay and select Create Volume from Replay. The
Create Volume from Replay dialog box appears.
b. Select the folder for the view volume.
c. Set the name for the view volume.
d. Click Create Now. The Map Volume to Server dialog box appears.
e. Select the server to which the view volume should be mapped.
f. Click Continue.
g. Click Create Now.
2. On the database server, bring the disks for the new view volumes online and assign a drive letter or
NTFS mount point.
a. Open Server Manager and select Disk Management.
b. Verify all disks for the new view volumes are displayed. If any disks are not displayed, re-scan the
disks until they appear. To re-scan the disks, right-click
Disk Management and select Rescan
Disks.
c. Bring each new disk online. To bring a disk online, right-click the box containing the disk number
and select Online.
d. Assign a drive letter or mount point to each new disk. Right-click the partition and select Change
Drive Letter and Paths. The Change Drive Letter and Paths dialog box appears.
