After a system change and reboot, we lost all disk access to SAN storage on our primary server. Is there a way to change teh configuration of an SDS server to become the primary server in the cluster when the primary server is down? The limited SDS documentation only gives commands for when the servers are up. IDS 11.5FC3X8 Linux Thanks for any insight!

When both the primary server and all of the SDS servers are down, the -SDS=alias flag is used to bring up the designated SDS server as a primary server. http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/idshelp/v115/index.jsp?tab=search&searc hWord=oninit +SDS John F.

Thanks John! I used that and the instance did try to come up. But now all the chunks are offline. It looks like we have more of a disk problem than I thought. Thanks again!!
