DISABLE FAST_START FAILOVER

The DISABLE FAST_START FAILOVER command prevents the observer from initiating a failover to the target standby database.

See Disabling Fast-Start Failover for additional information.

Format

DISABLE FAST_START FAILOVER [ FORCE ];

Command Parameters

None.

Usage Notes

  • If the primary and target standby database have a network connection, use DISABLE FAST_START FAILOVER without the FORCE option to disable fast-start failover on all databases in the broker configuration. If errors occur during the disable operation, the broker returns an error message and stops the disable operation. You may need to reissue the DISABLE FAST_START FAILOVER command with the FORCE option to override the error conditions and disable fast-start failover on the database to which you are connected. See Disabling Fast-Start Failover for more information.

  • Use DISABLE FAST_START FAILOVER with the FORCE option when the network between the primary and target standby databases is disconnected or when the database upon which the command is received does not have a connection with the primary database. The FORCE option disables fast-start failover on the database to which you are connected, even when errors occur.

  • Disabling fast-start failover with the FORCE option on a primary database that is disconnected from the observer and the target standby database does not prevent the observer from initiating a fast-start failover to the target standby database.

  • You can disable fast-start failover while connected to any database in the broker configuration so long as connectivity exists between that database and the primary.

  • If disabled by force at the target standby database and the connection subsequently resumes with the primary database, fast-start failover is disabled on all databases in the configuration.

  • Disabling fast-start failover with the FORCE option while connected to the primary will disable fast-start failover on the target standby database if there is network connectivity between both databases.

Command Examples

Example 1: Disabling a Fast-Start Failover

The following example shows how to disable fast-start failover.

DGMGRL> DISABLE FAST_START FAILOVER;
Disabled.

Example 2: Using FORCE When Disabling Fast-Start Failover

The following example uses the FORCE option which disables fast-start failover on the database to which you are connected. 

DGMGRL> DISABLE FAST_START FAILOVER FORCE;
Disabled.
