Oracle 9.2.0.6 running on Sun Solaris 10
Hi, I have a production primary server replicating to two standby
servers. I want to break replication on one of the two standby
servers for the purpose of having a database that is a copy of the
production primary database open for read/write operations. The copy
of the primary will never be a part of the data guard configuration
anymore. I have done this failover procedure before on a 'proof of
concept' environment following the documentation and it worked very
well. However at that time the primary was shut down with a 'shutdown
abort' to simulate a real failure. But this time the production
server must be available at all times.
My question is this. When I execute the commands for the failover
operation on one of the secondary servers, must the primary server be
down? I am worried there might be some communication from the
secondary to the primary during the failover commands causing the main
production instance to shut down. I hope I made sense, I am very
paranoid.
