Starting Rolling Back to a HyperCDP CG
This section describes how to quickly restore data on a PG to that at specific points in time using a HyperCDP CG, reducing data loss.
Prerequisites
A HyperCDP CG has been created and is in the Activated state.
Precautions
- If a PG has multiple HyperCDP CGs, you can use only one HyperCDP CG to roll back data at a time.
- Host services have been stopped before rollback to ensure data consistency.
- If source LUNs of a HyperCDP CG are also the primary or secondary LUNs of remote replication pairs, perform the rollback only after the status of the remote replication pairs is split.
Procedure
- Choose Data Protection > Plans > HyperCDP > HyperCDP CGs.
- Select the desired HyperCDP CG and click Start Rollback.

- Click
- Set Rollback Speed.
Click the drop-down list next to Rollback Speed and select a rollback speed among Low, Medium, High, and Highest.
- When service load on the storage system is heavy, set the value to Low or Medium.
- When service load on the storage system is light, set the value to High or Highest.
- Low: 0 MB/s to 5 MB/s (without considering the impact on the system performance). At this setting, rollback takes a long period of time. This is used when the service load is heavy.
- Medium: 10 MB/s to 20 MB/s (without considering the impact on the system performance). At this setting, rollback takes a relatively short period of time. This is used when the service load is relatively heavy.
- High: 50 MB/s to 70 MB/s (without considering the impact on the system performance). At this setting, rollback takes a short period of time. This is used when the service load is relatively light.
- Highest: Above 100 MB/s (without considering the impact on the system performance). At this setting, rollback takes a very short period of time. This is used when the service load is light.
- Click OK.
