How to Failover if Standby is in READ-ONLY mode

edited Aug 27, 2009 1:36AM in High Availability Data Guard, Sharding and Global Data Services (MOSC) 6 commentsAnswered ✓
I did the following test case:

Put physical standby database in READONLY mode, and then shutdown ABORT the primary to simulate the Disaster at primary site.

I tried to failover to standby but received the following error:

DGMGRL> edit database 'pr_ruby' set state='ONLINE';
Error: ORA-16625: cannot reach the database

Is it not possible to do failover in case Physical standby is in READ-ONLY mode ? do it need to do it manually in this case?

Howdy, Stranger!
