Note:

Repeat this for each volume used for the MySQL instance.

In the FlashArray Graphical user interface navigate to the Snapshots view by selecting Protection and then Snapshots.

Find the storage snapshot taken for the MySQL instance. In this example the snapshot is named DB-07-MySQL-Base.MySQL-AppConsistency. Once the snapshot has been identified select the three eclipses to bring up the context menu.

There are 2 options for recovery:

Restore to parent volume

The original volume from which the snapshot was created will be overwritten with the snapshot. This can be performed by selecting Restore.

A prompt will be displayed to confirm the operation. Once Restore has been selected then the operation will proceed.

Copy to a new or existing volume

A new volume can be created from the storage snapshot or another existing volume can be overwritten with the storage snapshot. This can be performed by selecting Copy...

The new volume needs to be given a name, if a volume with the same name already exists Overwrite needs to be selected. Once Copy has been selected the operation will proceed.

Note:

The original volume has a snapshot created before being overwritten to ensure that recovery to the original volume can be performed.

Note:

If copying to a new volume then the volume needs to be attached to a host.
