Rollback considerations
Always consider how a rollback can affect any other snapshots or other data on the storage array.
Consider the following limitations and precautions before you perform a rollback:
- NSM supports rollback operations in a clustered environment when the cluster software is disabled on the volumes participating in the operation.
- The file system that you roll back must be the only file system on the application volume.
- The volume must be the only volume in the volume group.
- The file system occupies the entire volume space and no other objects are on the same volume.
- If a rollback fails, the application host’s file system may remain unmounted, and you must manually mount the file system.
- VNXe Block array does not support the rollback restore feature.
- XtremIO does not support the rollback restore feature.
NOTE Rollbacks overwrite the entire contents of the source LUNs and potentially destroy the existing data.
NOTE On Linux and Solaris, if a disk is configured with partitions, you can perform a rollback restore only if you list the entire disk in the
psrollback.res file. The rollback restore then overwrites the entire disk.
For example, if /fs1 and /fs2 are configured with partitions /dev/sdc1 and /dev/sdc2 respectively, then enable the rollback restore of /fs1 by listing the entire disk /dev/sdc in the psrollback.res file. The rollback restore overwrites the entire disk /dev/sdc, so /fs2 is also restored.
