File Repair v10 #Domino10 #Domino2025

If you follow this blog you know that v10 of Domino, Sametime, Verse on Premises, Traveler etc are all due out this year and I want to do some - very short - blog pieces talking about new features and what my use case would be for them.

So let’s start with FILE REPAIR (or whatever it’s going to be called)

The File Repair feature for Domino v10 is designed to auto repair any corrupted databases in a cluster. Should Domino detect a corruption on any of its databases that are clustered, it automatically removes the corrupted instance and pulls a new instance from a good cluster mate. Best of all this happens super fast, doesn’t use regular replication to repopulate, doesn’t require downtime and the cluster manager is fully aware of the database availability throughout.

I can think of plenty of instances where I have had a corrupted database that I can’t replace or fix without server downtime.  No more, and another good reason to cluster your servers.
