Stopping Synchronization at the Primary Installation

Before starting synchronization at the failover installation, stop synchronization at the primary installation to prevent unwanted interaction between the two systems. Depending on the reasons for failing over this is accomplished in different ways. If the primary Identity Synchronization for Windows installation is still operating properly, for example, failing over because a domain controller or Directory Server is down, then just stop synchronization using the console or idsync stopsync. Otherwise, stopping the Identity Synchronization for Windows daemon (on Solaris) or service (on Windows) on each Identity Synchronization for Windows system that is still operational is recommended.
