Patent attributes
In one aspect, a method includes reading metadata for a logical unit (LU) to restore, restoring active read areas to the LU identified in the metadata and exposing the LU to a host after restoring the active read areas of the LU. In another aspect, an apparatus includes electronic hardware circuitry configured to reading metadata for a LU to restore, restoring active read areas to the LU identified in the metadata and exposing the LU to a host after restoring the active read areas of the LU. In a further aspect, an article includes a non-transitory computer-readable medium that stores computer-executable instructions. The instructions cause a machine to read metadata for a LU to restore, restore active read areas to the LU identified in the metadata and expose the LU to a host after restoring the active read areas of the LU.
