To resynchronize a database to a snapshot
1
Click a snapplan, located under the Snapplans icon, in the object tree. (You
may need to expand the tree view to find the icon.)

Access the Reverse Resync wizard.
See “Accessing FlashSnap tasks in the Java GUI” on page 25.
3
Verify the Oracle SID and snapplan information. These are read-only fields.
4
Click the Begin button, then click Finish to start the reverse resynchronization
process. To view details, click the Show details checkbox. The details are
displayed in a pop-up window.

At the confirmation prompt, click Yes to continue.
The Begin option performs the following actions:
■ Imports the disk group that was deported from the secondary host and
joins it back to the original disk group.
■ Mounts the snapshot volumes.
■ Mounts the file systems that are configured for the primary database.
■ Brings up the database snapshot image as the primary database.
The primary database must be offline to perform this action.

If the begin action was successful, a confirmation message displays. Click
Show details to see the actions completed. When you are through, click OK
to continue.
