- On secondaries, the |cmd-name| command forces the secondary to enter :replstate:`RECOVERING` state. Read operations issued to an instance in the :replstate:`RECOVERING` state will fail. This prevents clients from reading during the operation. When the operation completes, the secondary returns to:replstate:SECONDARY state.
- See :doc:`/reference/replica-states/` for more information about replica set member states.
See :doc:`/tutorial/perform-maintence-on-replica-set-members` for an example replica set maintenance procedure to maximize availability during maintenance operations.
