Before using the VSS Restore Wizard or the vxsnap utility to recover missing production volumes from a snapshot set, you must prepare for the recovery. To prepare, you complete the following steps:
  • Take any affected databases offline.
  • Reassign the drive letters or mount points of the missing volumes to the snapshot volumes.
See Reassigning the drive letter or mount points of the missing volumes to the snapshot volumes.
  • Replace the failed hardware and add the new disks to the dynamic disk group.
See Replacing hardware and adding disks to the dynamic disk group.
