Perform a switchover of an SRDF protection group when you want to migrate services to the partner cluster in an orderly fashion. Basic Geographic Edition operations such as geopg switchover, perform a symrdf swap operation. The symrdf swap operation requires significantly more time for static RDF than dynamic RDF. Therefore, you might need to increase the value of the timeout property of the protection group when using static RDF.
A switchover consists of the following:
Application services are brought offline on the former primary cluster, cluster-paris.
For a reminder of which cluster is cluster-paris, see Example Geographic Edition Cluster Configuration in Oracle Solaris Cluster Geographic Edition System Administration Guide .
The data replication role is reversed and now continues to run from the new primary, cluster-newyork, to the former primary, cluster-paris.
Application services are brought online on the new primary cluster, cluster-newyork.
