Hi

 

I want to make a test for restoring a configuration after a DR on 7-MOD

 

For my test 

i create a new vol and qtree with NFS exports

i make a backup with config dump <conf_file>

 

i delete the vol

 

I try to restore the conf with config restore <conf_file>

Nothing happens  ( my vol is not beeing appears)

 

i make a takeover/giveback

 

Nothing has changed , my vol is not  beeing appears

 

 

Somebody can help me ?

restoring the config file will not get your volume back after you deleted it. For that, you'll need a DR backup (snapmirror). You can also restore a volume from an aggregate snapshot. However, that would require restoring the entire aggregate (or copy the aggregate and then restore the specific volume from the aggr snapshot)
