The following may occur depending on the error condition:
If the resume rollback operation is successful — You can view the progress of the rollback operation in the
Properties pane when you select the base virtual disk or the consistency group member virtual disk in the
Logical pane.
If the resume rollback operation is not successful — The rollback operation is paused again. The base
virtual disk or member virtual disk displays Needs Attention icons, and the controller logs the event to the
Major Event Log (MEL). You can follow the Recovery Guru procedure to correct the problem or contact
your Technical Support representative.

Canceling A Snapshot Image Rollback

Use the Cancel Rollback option to cancel a rollback operation after it has been started. You can cancel an active
rollback that is in progress (actively copying data), a pending rollback (in a pending queue awaiting resources to start),
or a rollback that has been paused due to an error. When you cancel a rollback operation as it is in progress, the base
virtual disk reverts to an unusable state and appears as failed in the MD Storage Manager. Therefore, consider
canceling a rollback operation only when recovery options exist for restoring the content of the base virtual disk.
After you cancel a rollback operation, you must take one of the following actions:
Reinitialize the content of the base virtual disk.
Perform a new rollback operation to restore the base virtual disk (using either the same snapshot image that
was used in the Cancel Rollback operation or a different snapshot image to perform the new rollback operation).
NOTE: If the snapshot group on which the snapshot image resides has one or more snapshot images that are
automatically purged, the snapshot image used for the rollback operation may not be available for future rollbacks.

Viewing The Progress Of A Snapshot Rollback
