AIX 5.3, DB2 UDB v 8.2
I was curious if there was a mechanism in HADR to switch the
HADR_REMOTE_HOST. If a link or switch fails and there is an alternate
path is there a way to use the path?
I tried changing the remote host on the machines on the fly but I
noticed that it states the changes do not take affect right away.
Then the Standby rebooted. I did finally get both machines up with
the new port configuration but they wouldnt talk to each other. The
Standby logged that there was no Primary connected and the Primary
timedout as it did not hear from the Standby. So I take it you cannot
change the remote hosts this way.
Any other possiblities? I would like to be able to fail over to
another path if possible.
Thanks.
