After you configure your companion for asymmetric failover, you can configure them for symmetric configuration. In a symmetric configuration, both servers act as primary and secondary companions. See Figure 3-2 for a description of symmetric configuration.
Issue sp_companion from the secondary companion to configure it for symmetric configuration. See “Creating an asymmetric companion configuration,” above, for a description of the syntax for sp_companion.
The following example adds an Adaptive Server named MONEY1 as the secondary companion to the Adaptive Server named PERSONNEL1 described in “Creating an asymmetric companion configuration”. Issue the following command from the MONEY1 server:
sp_companion 'PERSONNEL1', configure, sa, Think2Odd
Server 'MONEY1' is alive and cluster configured. Step: Access verified from Server:'MONEY1' to Server:'PERSONNEL1' Server 'PERSONNEL1' is alive and cluster configured. Step: Access verified from Server:'PERSONNEL1' to Server:'MONEY1' (1 row affected) (1 row affected) (1 row affected) (1 row affected) (1 row affected) (1 row affected) ..... Step: Companion servers configuration check succeeded Step: Server handshake succeeded Step: Master device accessible from companion Step: Added the servers 'MONEY1' and 'PERSONNEL1' for cluster config Step: Server configuration initialization succeeded Step: Synchronizing server logins from companion server Step: Synchronizing remoteserver from companion server Step: Synchronizing roles from companion server Step: Synchronizing server-wide privs from companion server Step: User information syncup succeeded Step: Server configured in normal companion mode
