Storage Mirroring Evaluation Guide

8. The Source Path and Target Path will automatically be populated when the replication

set is selected. HP OpenView Storage Mirroring will allow the data to be placed in a

location other than the original, but by default, and for the purposes of this evaluation,

restore the data to the same location it came from.

9. For this evaluation, use the default restoration conditionals. For detailed information on the

different options, see the HP OpenView Storage Mirroring User’s Guide.

10. Click Restore to begin the restoration.

Monitor the verification process as you did the mirror and verification. Notice that the Mirror

Status column changes to Restoring while the restoration process occurs.

When the restoration is complete, the connection will automatically disconnect. After the

restoration connection is disconnected, your source and target machines are synchronized.

Confirm that the file you deleted has been re-created by the restoration.

Users can access the source machine and you can, if desired, continue to protect your source by

simplying reconnecting the existing replication set on your source to the target.

NOTE: It is important to note that you should not let users access the source or

target servers during the restoration process. The restoration process is

similar to the original connection process, except that only mirroring is

activated. Therefore, the data must not be changing on the target during the

restore. Changes made to files on the target during the restore will not be

transmitted back to the source. Additionally, files that are in use on the

source may prevent the restore from updating those files.
