Restoring After a Media Failure on the Secondary Database Server

High-Availability Data Replication:Table 45 summarizes the various scenarios for restoring data if the secondary database server suffers media failure. The following issues are relevant:

• If chunks are mirrored, you can perform recovery just as you would for a standard database server that uses mirroring.
• In cases where the chunks are not mirrored, the secondary database server fails if the disk contains critical media but remains online if the disk does not contain critical media. In both cases, you have to perform a full restore using the dbspace backups on the primary database server. (See Restarting After Critical Data Is Damaged.) In the second case, you cannot restore selected dbspaces from the secondary dbspace backup because they might now deviate from the corresponding dbspaces on the primary database server. You must perform a full restore.
