  1. From the Virtual Machines Configure page, navigate to the Pure Storage - Virtual Volumes tab, select Overwrite Disk.

  2. From this page, select the vVol based VM and the Data vVol from that VM that you want to use to overwrite the Data vVol with. While this can be a different vVol VM or the same vVol VM that you want to import the data vVol to, the example show will be to roll back this Data vVol to a previous snapshot. Here Hard Disk 2 is selected and when expanded all Snapshots for that vVol are shown. In this case, the one selected in a Snapshot from the FlashArray pgroup "vSphere-Plugin-pgroup-2" and the Snapshot Name of "Safe-Snapshot".

    In the Volume Information for the selected snapshot, we can see when the snapshot was created and the information for this vVol that will be used to Overwrite the Existing Data vVol. Click on Overwrite to complete the workflow.
