Instant Recovery for HP StorageWorks Enterprise Virtual Array in CA+BC Configurations

Step 4: Performing Instant Recovery

Using the Data Protector GUI or CLI, execute the instant recovery with the selected session. This should

complete successfully with the appropriately reconfigured environment.

When this has been completed, proceed to

Step 5: Rebuilding the CA Link (optional).

Step 5: Rebuilding the CA Link (optional)

If required, return the new source vDisks to the specific DR groups. Using the previously recorded

information regarding the environment and specific DR groups, either rebuild or recreate the DR

groups.

Note:

Ensure that the newly recovered storage volumes are used for this rebuild of

the CA links. These storage volumes should have the same name and the

same WWN as the previously used storage volumes. However, as these

are different vDisks, the UUIDs are not the same as those vDisks being

previously used by the application system.

Refer to the CV EVA documentation for this specific process. Additional steps to bring the environment

to the same initial state may also be needed. This may include failing over the CA links again, to

return operation to the correct EVA arrays and application servers.
