11.4 Receive VTL
After recovering the partition, you must add tape drives and a robot to the partition,
and you must map the devices before the VTL partition is accessible. If the partition
contains media, you will only be able to select the highest capacity tape drive for that
media type. For example, if the partition contains SDLT600 tape cartridges, you will
only be able to select DLT-S4 tape drives when mapping devices to the recovered
partition.
When a VTL partition is recovered on a target system, a new serial number is
created for the partition.
If you previously remapped your backup application to a recovered partition on
the target system, after you failback the partition, you must remap your backup
application again to point to the source system.
Deleting a Snapshot
Delete a snapshot if it is no longer needed. After you delete a snapshot, it can no longer
be used to recover or failback a VTL partition.
You cannot delete a snapshot if a failback operation is in progress for the
snapshot. Wait for the failback operation to complete, or abort the operation
(see "Failback Jobs" on page 373).
To delete a snapshot:
1. Do one of the following actions:
l On the source system, disable replication for the partition associated with the
snapshot (see "Enabling Replication For a Share or Partition" on page 350).
l On the target system, delete the source system associated with the snapshot from
the list of allowed replication sources (see "Deleting a Replication Source" on page
260).
2. On the target system, select a snapshot in the Snapshots List and click Delete.
If you delete the last snapshot for a partition while replication for the
partition (to this target) is still enabled, any replicated data not yet
protected by a replicated partition is not deleted. To delete this data, on the
source system, disable replication for the partition before deleting the last
snapshot.
3. Click Yes to confirm the action.

The Recovery Jobs page allows you to view information about snapshot recover
operations that were previously completed.
