Hi!
I have customers using iSCSI luns on our primary system and have a few local snapshots on that volumes taken each night. I also backup the volume with snapvault to a secondary system where I keep snapshots for a longer retention time.
Now, one customer has destroyed a file in his LUN and needs a restore. I must restore the LUN to a parallell location for him to mount and pick the file to replace it.
I first tried with on of the local snapshots on the primary system with snap restore, but the customer said that the file still was crap, so I need to go back further in the retention which means that I have to read the LUN from the snapvault backup...
How do I do that?
The best I could do was like this:
selina001-v1@selina001> snapvault restore -s sv_weekly.1 -S selina003-v1:/vol/volib0101/luns/eselimw008 selina001-v1:/vol/voli0101/lun_restore/eselimw008
Invalid path: /vol/voli0101/lun_restore/eselimw008
usage:
This command is available only on a snapvault primary.
snapvault restore [-r] [-f] [-w] [-s <snapname>] [-k <n>] -S <secondary_filer>:<secondary_path> [<primary_filer>:]<primary_path>
Any suggestions?
Sincerely
/ Olle Ramsberg

There is no need to execute a "snapvault restore" to restore the LUN to primary storage. Instead use the "lun clone create" on the snapvault destination volume to create a temporary copy of the LUN. You can specify on which snapvault destination snapshot you can to base the clone.
You can then connect the LUN on the backup filer to a host and copy out data. Don't forget to disconnect the LUN and destroy the clone.
