maintenance --configuration [--reinit_dictionary]

Description

Reinitializes the dictionary on a DR Series system. Using the --reinit_dictionary command is not considered a commonly
performed function. Because the dictionary acts as an index that maps each chunk of data to a specific location, it is
referenced during data ingests to determine if the DR Series system has seen this data before. When you reinitialize the
dictionary, all entries that indicate whether there were previously archived data locations are removed. As a result,
during new data ingests the DR Series system will be unable to detect any duplicates based on the existing archived
data.

NOTE: Use caution when considering whether you should reinitialize the dictionary. This type operation is only
performed rarely, and when performed, only under special circumstances. Contact and consult with Dell Support
before you use this command.

Syntax

You will need to type yes to continue or no to return to the system prompt when you are prompted whether you want to
continue with this process.
maintenance --configuration --reinit_dictionary
