Alarms and Events window for the “Server Repaired” event.
Repairing a server does not correct the underlying problem that caused the server's reported stat e to 
change.  Rather, it is a means for the administrator to notify the server that the under lying problem has 
been corrected or dismissed. It is an “alarm reset”.
5.2.2.  Reinitializing a  ServerReinitializing a server causes it to re-read all or part of its configuration metadata  and reset its internal 
representation of those values.  In many cases reinitialization is all that is needed  to cause a server to start 
using a new configuration.  In other cases it may be necessary to restart a server to cause it to use  a new 
configuration.
HPSS servers vary widely in their support of the reinitialization function.  The fol lowing table lists the 
behavior of each HPSS server when it is told to reinitialize.

These servers support full reinitialization. This 
means that reinitialization is as effective as 
restarting the server.
