Restoring the configuration database data in the DCD

If a dynamic reconfiguration operation fails or is interrupted, you may want to restore the configuration in the DCD with the current active configuration, which is stored in the ACD. PowerHA® SystemMirror® allows you to save in a snapshot the changes you made to the configuration in the DCD before you overwrite it.
