Recovering from partner-down

I've been perusing the archives and don't see what I'm looking
for...which isn't to say it isn't there.  But anyway...

I'm running two Debian linux systems in a HA failover arrangement.  Both
are running V3.0.4b3 (the latest and greatest at time of build) and have
been humming along flawlessly for the better part of a year.

One of the servers lost its' RAID late last week (the "primary", if this
makes any difference).  Since an RMA of parts and a total rebuild was in
order, I put the survivor into partner-down via OMAPI and also set it in
the leases file to make it persistent.  And that all worked perfectly.

My "primary" is now rebuilt and the config tests as startable.  What I
have read on recovery seems to say I can get into a bad state if I do
things in the wrong order...but no where can I find the right order!
What do I need to do to go from one server running in partner-down back
to a proper partnership?

Thank you!
