Hi,

It's strongly recommended to manually initialize the CP after that
Checkpoint File copy procedure and reboot it again to get all three CP
databases in sync again. There are tools around to get it synced =
without
initializing but they need experts to work as expected (and as I'm =
doing
this also only once all five years I always try to make it the normal =
way).
;-)
However, the Checkpoint file copying does not solve the CP lock problem =
at
all, I'd not recommend to do it.
