Examine the Data Guard configuration:
DGMGRL> show configuration;
Configuration Animals -
Protection Mode: MaxAvailability
Databases:
dogs- Primary database
sheep- (*) Physical standby database
cats- Physical standby database
Fast-Start Failover: ENABLED -
Configuration Status:
SUCCESS -
What happens if you issue "switchover" to sheep;" at the DGMGRL prompt?
When a switchover is performed in a Data Guard configuration with Fast-Start Failover enabled, the target standby database becomes the new primary database and the previous primary database becomes the new failover target. Since the switchover command is issued to 'sheep', it becomes the new primary database, and 'dogs', the former primary database, becomes the new failover target.
