Life cycle state	Definition	Importance
DISCOVERY	The meta server and smart cell are determining the	maintenance
	cell’s start state (the state following DISCOVERY), based	(startup only)
	on expected states of the cell and its mirror smart cell.
	The cell is not available for document storage, search,
	or retrieval.
RESET	The cell is being recycled. Stored documents and	maintenance
	corresponding management data, such as document
	indexes, are destroyed during recycling.
	The system administrator has determined that existing
	cell data is no longer needed. The RESET state is only
	set manually.
	The cell is not affiliated with any domain, so it is not
	available for document storage, search, or retrieval.

	failed.
	The cell is not available for storage. It is available for
	document search and retrieval (unless a failed process
	disabled the search engine). If backup is enabled,
	the cell is backing up new data that has not yet been
	backed up.
DEAD	The cell has failed.	failure
	It is not available for document storage, search, or
	retrieval. If backup is enabled, some or all cell data
	might not be backed up; if so, data will never be
	backed up.
UNKNOWN	The state of the smart cell is unknown.	unknown
FREE	The cell is free. (Shown in blue.) It can become	normal
	ASSIGNED or become a target for data restoration.
	The cell is not affiliated with any domain, so it is not
