SnapManager can restore databases in a clustered Exchange virtual server while keeping the cluster physical disk resource or the Exchange virtual server online. Keeping the cluster physical disk resource or the Exchange virtual server online minimizes downtime during the restore operation for databases in Storage Groups that share a cluster group but are not being restored.
This feature applies to LUN restore operations that use the Single-File SnapRestore (SFSR) method as well as to those that use the LUN Clone Split restore method supported with Data ONTAP 7.1.
