How to Enable a State Database Replica (DiskSuite Tool)

Use this task to bring a slice being used by the state database back online. You would use this task after physically replacing an errored slice (disk).

1. Make sure you have met the prerequisites ("Prerequisites for Maintaining DiskSuite Objects") and have read the preliminary information ("Preliminary Information for Enabling State Database Replicas").

1. Double-click the MetaDB object in the Objects list.

   The MetaDB object appears on the canvas.

2. Display the MetaDB object's Info window.

3. Select the errored slice in the scrolling list then click Restore.

   The Restore button is enabled only if a selected slice does not display the OK status.

4. To verify that the restore occurred, display the Configuration Log.
