3. Determinewhichsmartcellsfailedandcanberestored:
a. In the MBean view for the primary controller, click the button next to ListBrokenGroups.
Groups that failed and have not been recovered are listed.
b. Copy GroupIDs and Roles of broken groups.
c. Click Back to MBean view.
4. Restore the sm art cell:
After you determine which smart cell you want to restore, begin the other Provisioner o p eration,
RestoreSmartCellUsingGroupIDAndRole. A smart cell from the Free Pool (the group of unassigned
and empty smart cells) is assigned as a restore target. The smart cell begins restoring its data. If the
data indexes were not backed up, then the smart cell will rebuild them before coming back online.
(This generally happens if the smart cell was still open for storage when it failed.)
a. Under the RestoreCmartCellUsingGroupIDAndRole operation, enter the group ID in the first
field and the role in the second field.
b. Click Invoke.
If the assignment of a cell is successful, a confirmation message appears. This can take up to
two minutes. Note the restore target information.
If an error occurs, verify that the group ID an d role are correct. If the information is correct, verify
that the sm a rt cell needs to be restored and that a free smart cell is availab le.
5. Verify that the restore process is running correctly or has c ompleted:
The smar t cell should restore its data and indexes and then restart itself to open in the correct state.
(It do es not reboot.) During the restore, restore appears next to the cell state on the View Cell
Space page. Afterward, assigned should appear next to both the primary and secondary cell. If
the restore has failed, the BackupSystem MBean on that restore target will be listed as failed on the
Overview pa ge of the PCC.
a. In the View Cell Space view, lo cate the restored smart cell that is listed in the confirmation
message.
b. If the assigned smart cell is not i n the restore state, the restore process has completed and no
further action is require d. Otherwise, click the link to the smar t cell in the restore state.
c. From the MBean list, click BackupSystemMBean.
The MBean view appears.
d. Verify that the RunningState attribute is 3 and the FailureReason attribute is No Failure.
This indicates that the restore process is occurring normally. If the RunningState at tribute is 5,
then the restore process failed. Check the FailureReason attribute to discover the cause.
