Rehydration

You can restore a tiered file using rehydration. When you perform tiering, an HTML stub file is created in the file system from which a file is moved. On the target, the file structure is also created. The stub file contains recall information for Data Storage Optimizer to rehydrate the original file from the target to the original file system. You can selectively recall any file from its storage location and perform rehydration if a stub file exists in the file system.

Note
  • When a file is tiered, the last access time of the file does not change.
  • You cannot rehydrate a purged or deleted file.
