After you have exported and mapped the virtual snapshot, you can verify that the new volume appears as a drive on the host.
- After the system scans the host, you should see a new drive.
In Windows 2008, you might need to put the drive online by right-clicking the drive and selecting Online. This action should not be necessary in Windows 2003, unless the volume being replicated is a dynamic drive.
Note: When mapping a virtual snapshot to a host, the Replication Engine contains a LUN 0 that is visible from the Disk Management software. This LUN is for administrative purposes only; do not attempt to map to this LUN or bring it online.
- When the drive is online, verify that it contains the following:
A drive letter
A visible drive label
- Browse to the drive and verify that its contents are what you expect.
