ADR Vault became active due to a failure of the primary Vault. Service on the primary Vault has now been restored. Arrange the steps to return the DR vault to its normal standby mode in the correct sequence.
To return the Disaster Recovery (DR) Vault to its normal standby mode after the primary Vault has been restored, you need to follow specific steps in an ordered sequence. Here is the correct sequence for this operation: 1. Shut down the PrivateArk Server Service on the DR Vault: This step is necessary to ensure there is no interference with the processes you'll perform on the configuration files and services. 2. In the PADR.ini file, set Failover Mode = No and remove the last two lines: This step involves editing the configuration file to disable the failover mode, signaling that the DR Vault should not act as the primary vault anymore, and cleaning up redundant instructions. 3. Start the PrivateArk Disaster Recovery Service: Finally, starting this service ensures that the DR Vault is operational in standby mode, ready to take over if a failure occurs in the primary Vault again.
The Exercise Guide from the lab part of PAM Administration course says that's the way to go: 1. Edit padr.ini and set FailoverMode to No, delete last 2 lines 2. Stop the PrivateArk Server service on DR 3. Start the CyberArk Vault Disaster Recovery service on DR

1. Stop the Vault Server using the PrivateArk Server Administration Console (For HA Vault, use the Cluster Administrator) and confirm that the Cyberark Event Notification Engine service has been stopped via the services.msc console. 2. Set the “FailoverMode” variable in \Program Files (x86)\Privateark\padr\padr.ini to No. 3. Delete the following two entries in the padr.ini: NextBinaryLogNumberToStartAt, LastDataReplicationTimestamp 4. Start “CyberArk Disaster Recovery service” 5. Check \Program Files (x86)\Privateark\padr\padr.log to make sure replication is successful from Production Vault to DR Vault.
