from the cluster.
1. Detach the database using ASM/ME
2. Remove the Smart Copy disk resources from the SQL Server service dependency list
3. Delete the Smart Copy disks from the cluster
4. Use ASM/ME to logoff the Smart Copy set
7.2.4 Restore All as New – Mount Point Option

2. Add the location of the mount point folders on the non-clustered shared disk – Next
3. Add new database name if necessary – Restore
a. This will connect to the Smart Copy using the iSCSI initiators on all nodes in the cluster.
To complete the recovery process the hosting (non-clustered) volume and the Smart Copy set (mount
points) must be added to the cluster and specified as disk resources. Use the following steps to complete
this process.
