You can use the Starting FlashCopy® Mapping–Restore panel in the SAN Volume Controller Console to start a selected FlashCopy mapping for restoring data. This panel indicates that the selected FlashCopy mapping has a target virtual disk (VDisk) that is a source VDisk in another active FlashCopy mapping.
This task assumes that you have already launched the SAN Volume Controller Console.
When the FlashCopy mapping is being started with restore option, the start operation can fail if dependencies exist between the current FlashCopy mapping being started and other FlashCopy mappings on the cluster that have also been started with the restore option. To determine if dependencies exist between the selected FlashCopy mappings and other mappings, use the Viewing FlashCopy Mappings panel to determine whether other FlashCopy mappings are linked to the selected mapping through shared source or target VDisks. If the restore option is set on any of these linked mappings, then you cannot start the selected FlashCopy mapping with the restore option.
Complete the following steps to start a FlashCopy mapping:
