Reverting a LUN

Reverting restores a shared folder or LUN to the state at which the snapshot was taken. Restoring data using snapshot revert is faster than restoring individual files and folders.

  1. Go to Storage & Snapshots > Storage > Storage/Snapshots.
  2. Select a block-based LUN.
    Important:

    The LUN must have at least one snapshot.

  3. Click Snapshot, and then select Snapshot Manager.

    The Snapshot Manager window opens.

  4. Select a snapshot.
  5. Click Revert LUN Snapshot.
    Warning:

    All changes made after the snapshot was taken will be deleted.

  6. Optional: Configure the following settings.

    Setting

    Description

    Re-map LUN to the same iSCSI target after revert

  7. Click Local Revert.

QuTS hero unmaps the LUN from its iSCSI target. The status of the LUN changes to Reverting.
