Promoting snapshot (Virtual Volume Set)

Promoting snapshot on a Virtual Volume set which has snapshots, overwrites the data on the parent/base virtual volume with the snapshot data. The data on the base virtual volumes changes. The Virtual Volume set and the members of the Virtual Volume set remain intact.

IMPORTANT:

If the virtual volume set does not contain snapshots, you cannot perform the Promote snapshot action on the virtual volume set.

Caution: Promoting a snapshot overwrites the data on the base virtual volume with the data from the snapshot. Learn more: Snapshots (virtual copies).
