    Hi,

    Are you on a multi-node K-Safe cluster? If so Vertica can recover for you.

    Example:

    I'll delete a .gt file:

    [dbadmin@vertica01 681]$ rm -f 0297d0a17c34fe9261c352d8f2c551a400a0000000002dc9_0.gt

[dbadmin@vertica01 681]$ vsql

dbadmin=> select * from test;
ERROR 6407:  StorageBundleReader: Error opening file [/home/dbadmin/rename_me/v_rename_me_node0001_data/681/0297d0a17c34fe9261c352d8f2c551a400a0000000002dc9_0.gt] for read: No such file or directory

dbadmin=>\q

    That's not good!

    Now I'll stop the DB to get to where you are ...

    [dbadmin@vertica01 681]$ admintools -t stop_db -d rename_me -p ****** -F
        Connecting to database
        Issuing shutdown command to database
Database rename_me stopped successfully

    Next I will try to restart:

    [dbadmin@vertica01 681]$ admintools -t start_db -d rename_me -p vertica8
        Starting nodes:
                v_rename_me_node0001 (192.168.2.200)

        Found these errors in startup.logs on hosts:

Do you want to continue waiting? (yes/no) [yes] no
        Server startup was successful on some nodes, but not complete

Press RETURN to continue
Database rename_me did not start successfully: No better than partial startup

    Not a full start :'( Note the hint about using the --force option to recover.

    Which node is down?

    [dbadmin@vertica01 681]$ admintools -t list_allnodes | grep rename_me
 v_rename_me_node0001 | 192.168.2.200 | DOWN  | vertica-9.0.1.7 | rename_me
 v_rename_me_node0002 | 192.168.2.201 | UP    | vertica-9.0.1.7 | rename_me
 v_rename_me_node0003 | 192.168.2.202 | UP    | vertica-9.0.1.7 | rename_me

    Restart the node using the --force option:

    [dbadmin@vertica01 681]$ admintools -t restart_node -s 192.168.2.200 -d rename_me --force
