Use the Prepare command to prepare each of the volumes whose drive letter or mount point was reassigned prior to the restore process. Make sure to select disks or LUNs that are not used for production data. However, you may create more than one snapshot volume on the same disk or LUN as long as there is sufficient space available.
To create the snapshot mirrors using the VEA console
Make sure that the lower pane of the VEA console shows that the resynchronization process is complete before continuing with the vxsnap create command.
