how to reboot windows on primary host without activating the FAST_START FAILOVER?
Following is our Data Guard Setup:
Oracle database: 11gR2
OS: Windows 2008 Server R2
Service Pack: 1
Primary HOST: HOST_A
Standby HOST: HOST_B
Observer is running on HOST: HOST_C
Data Guard Configuration: ORUSA
Primary database: ORATST
Physical Standby database: ORAPSD
Fast Start Failover: ENABLED
Windows Registry Settings/Properties on PRIMARY HOST (HOST_A) are as follows:
Shutdown = TRUE
Shutdown Type = IMMEDIATE
Shutdown Timeout = 90Sec (We also increased it upto 5 minutes to test)
Windows-Oracle-Services for both databases ORATST and ORAPSD, are set to AutoStart on widows startup on respective hosts.
When we reboot windows on primary host (HOST_A), it activates the FAST_START FAILOVER and makes ORAPSD as PRIMARY.
