vxassist snapback

vxassist [-o resyncfromreplica] [-b] [-f] [-g<DynamicDiskGroupName>] snapback <SnapVolumeName | DriveLetter |VmName |DrivePath>

Joins the broken plex back to the original volume and resynchronizes the two volumes. By default, the synchronization is done from the original volume to the snapshot mirror.

Note:

Dynamic disks belonging to a Microsoft Disk Management Disk Group do not support the vxassist snapback command.

The following attributes apply:

-o resyncfromreplica

Reverses the resynchronization, copying data from the snapshot mirror to the original volume

-b

Performs the command in the background.

-f

Forces the snapback. Use this option with care. Make sure that the volume is not in use.

-g<DynamicDiskGroupName>

Needed only if you use an internal volume name.

<SnapVolumeName>

The name of the volume that is associated with the snapshot plex.

<DriveLetter>

The drive letter of the snapshot volume.

<VmName>

Internal name of the volume; requires the use of the -g option, such as -gDG1 Volume1.

<DrivePath>

A volume that is mounted on an NTFS folder; it is indicated by a path to that folder.

Example

vxassist snapback H:

This command joins the snapshot volume H back to the original volume.

vxassist snapback d:\mount1

This command snaps back the plex that is associated with the volume that is mounted on the d:\mount1 folder.
