Dropping companion mode

  1. Stop the high availability subsystem from monitoring the companions. Issue:

    scwitch -n -M -j primary-resource-name
    scswitch -n -M -j secondary-resource-name
    
  2. Then, to drop companion mode, issue:

    sp_companion companion_name, "drop"
    

    Dropping companion mode is an irreversible process; you must reconfigure the Adaptive Servers companion servers before they fail over in a high availability system.
