Remounting file system snapshot

Last published : Jun 19, 2026
The Management Server console lets you remount an already mounted file system snapshot in a VxFS file system.
To perform this task, your user group must be assigned the Admin role on the host or the Server perspective. The permission on the host may be explicitly assigned or inherited from a parent Organization.
To remount a file system snapshot
  1. In the Management Server console, go to the Server perspective and expand Manage in the left pane.
  2. Expand the Organization or Uncategorized Hosts to locate and select the host.
  3. Expand the host and do one of the following:
    • Expand Volumes to locate and select the required volume. ClickSnapshots tab.
    • Expand Volumes to locate and select the required file system snapshot.
  4. Right-click on the selected file system snapshot and select Remount.
  5. In the Remount File System Snapshot wizard panel, specify remount details. Click OK.
See Remount File System Snapshot panel options.
  1. In the Result panel, verify that the checkpoint has been remounted successfully.
