Viewing recovery progress
Use the following procedure to view the progress of a recovery, and identify which objects in the selected object set were recovered, rebuilt, or not recovered. You can also perform a recovery simulation that simulates all aspects of a recovery of the spaces in a group up to, but not including, the actual I/O. You might find simulation useful in reducing your disaster recovery or local recovery testing costs.
