Evening all,
I'm doing a DR test and ALTER DATABASE COMMIT TO SWITCHOVER TO PRIMARY;
seems to be taking a long time (20 mins).
Here's what I'm doing
Shutdown the primary to simiulate site failure
Issue the following on the primary
ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE FINISH SKIP STANDBY LOGFILE;
and then
ALTER DATABASE COMMIT TO SWITCHOVER TO PRIMARY;
Which is where it's hanging,
Alert log reflects nothing really helpful
Sat May 22 02:38:50 2004
ALTER DATABASE COMMIT TO SWITCHOVER TO PRIMARY
Database not recovered through End-Of-REDO
Begin: Wait for standby logfiles to be archived
Is this wait expected?
Thanks
Steve
