Restore the P-VOL from the V-VOL
SnapShot allows you to restore your P-VOL to a previous point in time from
any SnapShot image (V-VOL). The amount of time it takes to restore your
data depends on the size of the P-VOL and the amount of data that has
changed.
When you restore the P-VOL, two processes *take place.

The V-VOL is validated to insure that the restoration will complete
successfully. During the validation stage, the host cannot access the P-

performed in the background. The P-VOL is available for read/write
