How to restore a
smart cell
To restore data on a failed smart cell, you need at least one free s m art cell. If only one sm art cell in a
group failed, then clone a smart cell instead. See "Smartcell Cloning" on page 52 for more information
about cloning
.
To restore a sm
art cell, the following conditions must be met:
• The smar t cell domain has DataBackupEnabled=true set in the Domain.jcml configuration file.
• The smart cell g roup must have been assigned in this system at some time.
• The smart cell
must be marked as missing in the View Cell State table, or no record of the cell’s
existence appears in the View Cell State table.
Rebuilding t
he index on the smart cell takes a significant amount of time, depending on the amount of
data that is being restored.
If bo th smart cells in a group failed, perform the following procedure:
1. In the View Cell Space view, scroll to the Unaffiliated smar t cells area, and verif y that at least
onefreesmartcellexists.
