Database Recovery
You reload the database to initiate database recovery when either all of
the data instances are down or all elements in a replica set show
the waiting for seed
state.
To reload the database:
Note:
If an element of a replica set shows the waiting for seed
status, but the seed element does not recover, then evaluate the host and data instance for that element to see if you need to intervene on either a hardware or software error.
If the seed element still does not recover after reloading the database, then evict
the down replica set. See Recovering When the Replica Set Has a Permanently Failed Element. If
Durability=0
, then evict the
replica set and then unload and reload the
database to perform epoch recovery. See Recovering a Failed Replica Set When Durability=0.
