Resuming Normal Companion Mode

To resume normal companion mode between two companions that are in failover mode, simply restart the HACMP services on the primary node, and perform the following:

  1. Check that both companions are in failback mode by issuing sp_companion with no parameters.

  2. Resume normal companion mode by issuing:

    sp_companion secondary_server_name, resume

    sp_companion PERSONEL1, resume
