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.

  1. 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"

  2. Mount filesystems:

    rtmnt -C <Context ID>
  3. Check the data.

  4. Unmount filesystems:

    rtumnt -C <Context ID>

  5. Remove the snapshot:

    scrt_ra -WC <Context ID>

You can perform failover operations after you validate the replica.
