Resuming Normal Companion Mode

To resume normal companion mode between two companions that are in failover mode, simply restart the TruCluster services on the primary node, /usr/sbin/caa_relocate <primary server> which puts the server in failback mode. Now 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
    

    For example to issue normal companion mode for primary companion MONEY1:

    sp_companion PERSONEL1, resume
    
    Server 'MONEY1' is alive and cluster configured.
    Step: Access verified from Server:'MONEY1' to Server:'PERSONEL1'
    Server 'PERSONEL1' is alive and cluster configured.
    Step: Access verified from Server:'PERSONEL1' to Server:'MONEY1'
