Suspending normal companion mode

Suspended mode temporarily disables the ability of the primary companion to fail over to the secondary companion. To switch from normal companion mode to suspended mode:

  1. Stop the high availability subsystem from monitoring the primary and secondary companion as resources. As root, issue:

    scswitch -n -M -j primary-resource-name 
    scswitch -n -M -j secondary-resource-name

    sp_companion companion_name, suspend
