Description
- If the VASA Provider (VP) virtual appliance has been lost, rendered inaccessible, or otherwise non-functional, it might be necessary to perform a VP Disaster Recovery
- vVol metadata is stored in Data ONTAP (in a .vp_metadata file present on the backing flexvols associated with vVol datastores)
- The recovery commands allow the VASA Provider to reload this metadata into its database
