Create a Local Recovery Volume (View Volume) from a Snapshot

Create a recovery volume (view volume) from a snapshot to access data that is contained in the snapshot. A volume created from a snapshot accesses the same data and consumes the same amount of space as the original volume. It will consume more space when new data is written to the new volume.

1. If the Dell Storage Manager Client is connected to a Data Collector, select a Storage Center from the Storage view.
2. Click the Storage tab.
3. In the Storage tab navigation pane, select the volume.
4. In the right pane, click the Snapshots tab.
5. Right-click the snapshot from which you want to create a local recovery volume, then select Create Volume from Snapshot. The Create Volume from Snapshot dialog box opens.
6. Select the snapshot from which you want to create a local recovery volume, then click Create Volume from Snapshot.
   The Create Volume from Snapshot dialog box opens.
7. (Optional) Modify default settings for the recovery volume as needed.
   • Name—Type a new name for the volume.
   • Volume Folder—Select a parent folder for the volume.
   • Snapshot Profile—Click Change to select snapshot profiles for the volume.
   • Server—Click Change to select a server to which to map the volume.
   • Advanced Mapping—When a server is selected, click Advanced Mapping to configure LUN settings, restrict mapping paths, or present the volume as read-only.
   • Volume QoS Profile—Click Change to select the volume QoS profile to assign to the volume.
8. Click OK to create the local recovery volume.
