The output includes each membership partition found by the search,

whether the partition is active or inactive, the membership list on the disk

containing the partition, and the database records for the partitions.

Resilver Membership Partitions. Typically, Matrix Server writes data to

one membership partition and then copies, or resilvers, that data to the

other membership partitions. Resilvering takes place automatically when

a change is made to the device naming database or when you add,

remove, or replace a membership partition.

However, in certain situations you may need to perform the resilver

operation manually. For example, a membership partition might become

corrupt or a local membership list might become out of date.

When you select the Resilver option, you will be asked to select the

partition from which data should be copied. When you choose a

partition, the local path to that partition will appear at the bottom of the

window.

NOTE: If you resilver from a partition that is labeled MISMATCH, the

operation may initialize partitions that are not currently

membership partitions; any existing data on those partitions will

be overwritten. Use the Display option to see the membership

partition lists for the current membership partitions.
