The word _Recovery is appended to the end of the secondary instance name. The _Recovery word always appears as part of this instance name, even when the secondary instance becomes the primary instance after a failover.
The Disaster recovery role field shows a value of Secondary. When you fail over from the initial instance to the secondary instance, Secondary is replaced with Primary.
The Start failover button is enabled for use in the lower right section of the page. This is the only life cycle action that can be performed from the secondary instance.

Start designing integrations in your primary instance. As soon as you start, the synchronization of design-time metadata begins between the primary and secondary instances in near real time. This reduces the chance for data loss when a failover is required.
