EMC VMAX Restore clone data To Source Dev or To Alternate Source Dev

Author: Dinesh Punyani

1. Restore clone target data to clone source (incremental by default).

Symclone sid <> restore g Test_DG tgt

2. Query current clone session

Symclone sid <> g Test_DG query

3. Once restore is completed then please spilt it to make session a normal clone session
Symclone sid <> split g Test_DG -tgt

Restore to alternate source.

4. If restore needs to be done on another device then First original clone session needs to be
terminated
Symclone sid <> g Test_DG terminate -tgt

5. Remove target lun from DG

Symld remove TGT001 g Test_DG

6. Now create a New DG for restore on alternate device

Symdg create NewDG2 type regular

7. Add new device DEV002 to DG as source

Symld add dev DEV002(symdev id) g NewDG2

8. Add old target to New DG

Symld add dev TGT001(symdev id) g NewDG2 tgt

9. Start full restore on new device

Symclone sid <> restore full -g NewDG2 -tgt

10. Query session and check status

Symclone sid <> -g NewDG2 query
11. Once restore is 100% completed then spit session
Symclone sid <> split -g NewDG
