Restoring System Tables with disk reinit and disk refit
When you are restoring the master database from a dump that does not
reflect the most recent disk init or create database and
alter database commands, restore the proper information in the
sysusages, sysdatabases, and sysdevices
tables.
Restoring sysdevices with disk reinit
If you have added any database devices since the last dump—that is, if you have issued a disk init command—you must add each new device to sysdevices with disk reinit.
Restoring sysusages and sysdatabase with disk refit
If you have added database devices, or created or altered databases since the last database dump, use disk refit to rebuild the sysusages and sysdatabases tables.
