What You Should Do

The following table tells you how to respond to a system outage. If you can tolerate a delay in accessing files on a failed host system, follow the procedure described under Short Outages. If you cannot tolerate a delay, follow the procedure described under Long Outages.

Type of System	Length of Outage	Procedure for Responding
Host	Short	After the host system becomes active again, restart CA-L-Serv on that system.
	Long	See procedure that follows.
Remote	Short or Long	After the remote system becomes active again, restart CA-L-Serv on that system. Make sure you issue any CA-L-Serv commands that you normally issue at startup time.

To respond to a host type of system with a long outage length

Choose a new host system.
Stop the file server on the new host system by issuing the following command:
```
DETACH FILESERVER
```
Restart the file server on the new host system by issuing the following command:
```
ATTACH FILESERVER SERVERTYPE(HOST)
```
On the new host system, issue CA-L-Serv startup commands that you would normally issue on a host system. (Including ADDPOOL and ADDFILE commands.)
