Once you create a snapshot of the replica, you can analyze the integrity of the data. If analysis indicates data corruption, remove the snapshot and use a virtual restore to locate and validate an optimal restore point. A virtual restore leaves a snapshot in place for analysis at the restored point in time.
-
To perform a virtual restore on the recovery server:
scrt_ra -C <Primary Context ID> -t|-D|-S
For example, to make a restore snapshot to October 26, 2018 at 17:21:57:
scrt_ra -C <Context ID> -D "10/26/18 17:21:57"
-
Mount filesystems:
rtmnt -C <Context ID>
-
Check the data.
-
Unmount filesystems:
rtumnt -C <Context ID>
-
Remove the snapshot:
scrt_ra -WC <Context ID>
You can perform failover operations after you validate the replica.
