Mounting a snapshot set

Use this action to mount the snapshots in an umounted snapshot set.

Note: When you create a snapshot set, the individual snapshots are either all mounted or all unmounted.

To mount a snapshot set:

  1. In the Snapshots view, click the Snapshot set object.
  2. Right-click Mount snapshot set. The "Mount snapshot set" window opens.
  3. From the Managed system drop-down list, select the server on which to mount the snapshots.
  4. For each volume, choose the associated snapshot mount point. You can select a drive letter or enter the full path to an empty directory, such as L:\mydir; the directory must already exist. You must choose a different mount point for each snapshot.
  5. From the Access type drop-down list, choose Read only or Read/Write. (All members of the snapshot set will have the same access type.)


    Note: When you mount a snapshot with read/write access it no longer operates under VSS control. However, you still can use Adaptec Storage Manager to manage the snapshot, such as deleting the snapshot.

  6. Click OK.
