Activating DPVM Config Databases

</h1>
<a name="wp1073098"> </a><p class="pBody">
When you explicitly activate the DPVM config database, the DPVM config database becomes the active 
DPVM database. Activation may fail if conflicting entries are found between the DPVM config database 
and the currently active DPVM database. However, you can force activation to override conflicting 
entries.

Detailed Steps
</h2>
<a name="wp1098300"> </a><p class="pBody">
To activate the DPVM config database, follow these steps:

<div class="pSmartList1"><ol type="1" class="pSmartList1">
