If this option is selected and any snapclone to be restored is presented
to some other system than the backup system, the SMI-S Agent
removes these presentations. If this option is not selected but
presentations exist, instant recovery fails.

If the option is selected and a snapclone to be restored is presented
to the backup system, but it cannot be dismounted, SMIS-S Agent
will ignore this failure and remove the presentations during instant
recovery. If this option is not selected and the backup system cannot
be dismounted, instant recovery fails.
Default: not selected.
Instant recovery and LVM mirroring
Reducing and extending mirrors
Using this method, you reduce the mirrors to include only the PVG from which the
backup was taken. Instant recovery is performed after the volume is reduced, and
then the logical volume is mirrored again to include all PVGs.
CAUTION:
Before reducing the mirrors, verify that the mirror which is being reduced is the correct
one. Otherwise, depending on the restore options selected, irrecoverable loss of data
may happen. It is recommended to record and verify mirroring settings and the output
of lvdisplay and vgdisplay commands.
