Switchback Type
|
Choose either intelligent or automatic. This determines how the SAP DB resource will be switched back to the primary server after it comes in-service (active) on the backup server following a failover. Intelligent switchback requires administrative intervention to switch the resource back to the primary server, while automatic switchback occurs as soon as the primary server is back on line and reestablishes SPS communication paths. Note: The switchback strategy must match that of the dependent resources to be used by the SAP DB resource. |
