About mapping and unmapping volumes
Wizards guide you through
the mapping process; the appropriate wizard appears depending on
what you select to map.
The mapping is saved
between sessions, so you can stop mapping and then resume later.
(If you map during a dissimilar disk restore process and you click
OK to close the Change Configuration dialog box, the DDR restore
process continues.)
If an element is mapped
or unmapped, all the elements that are contained in it are mapped
or unmapped.
The main options are as
follows:
Note:
|
The
mapping wizards do not let you reduce the size of a volume or
partition to less than the required space to restore files.
|
The following notes apply to UNIX and Linux
DDR:
-
Shared disks in a cluster are marked
restricted.
-
Unused VxVM disks on Solaris clients are marked
restricted.
-
You cannot map Linux LVM volume groups with the
physical volumes that are created on top of multidevices with the
same configuration. The physical volumes are mapped to either disks
or partitions but not a multidevice.
The following notes apply to Windows DDR:
-
The system drive is always mapped and cannot be
moved; however, you can resize it if you map disks before the
restore.
-
Original disks and their volumes that were
clustered cannot be mapped.
-
The discovered disks that have the same disk
signature as an original disk that was clustered cannot be
mapped.
