TIBCO ActiveSpaces Cluster Startup with Persistence

With shared-nothing persistence, when ActiveSpaces nodes are started for the first time and join the metaspace (and subsequently the defined space), ActiveSpaces creates new data store files, and since there are no old files to recover from, the space automatically enters the READY state and is available for space operations.

If any ActiveSpaces node is restarted either after a failure or as a new member, the space is available for space operations if none of the nodes in the space find files to load data from. If any node has an old file, the space state is set to WAITING (or INITIAL if starting nodes after failure), and your application must initiate a load action.
