Kirit:
Close. Here are the steps as I see them:
- Primary site goes down
- Promote ifxdb03 to HDR Secondary (you cannot go directly from RSS to primary)
- Promote ifxdb03 to HDR Primary
- Promote ifxdb04 to HDR Secondary with ifxcb03 as Primary
- Original prime site returns.
- Assuming the newest logid that was on ifxdb03 at the time of the crash is still online:
- Start ifxdb01 with: oninit -PHY
- Promote ifxdb01 to RSS Secondary with ifxdb03 as Primary and let it catch up
- Start ifxdb02 with: oninit -PHY
- Reset ifxdb02 as RSS Secondary with ifxcb03 as Primary and let it catch up.
- Demote ifxdb04 to RSS Secondary
- Shutdown ifxdb03
- Promote ifxdb01 to HDR Secondary
- Promote ifxdb01 to Primary
- Promote ifxdb02 to HDR Secondary
- Start ifxdb03 with: oninit -PHY
- Set ifxdb03 as RSS Secondary to ifxdb01
- Reset ifxdb04 as RSS Secondary to idxdb01
If the newest log that ifxdb01 knew about is no longer online on ifxdb03 then you will have to restore ifxdb01 and ifxdb02 from an archive taken from ifxdb03 or using ifxclone.

Environment: IDS 12.10.FC12 running on CentOs 7.6.1810
Picture this...
PROD | DR
|
ifxdb01 ifxdb02 | ifxdb03 ifxdb04
Pri Sec | RSS RSS
|
PROD site is Lost X
X
Promote ifxdb03 to Primar X
X
Promote ifxdb04 to HDR Secondary X
X
PROD site returns |
So, I lose my PROD site and want to fail over over to my DR site making ifxdb03 the new Primary and ifxdb04 the new HDR Secondary. Can anyone confirm to me the sequence of steps (with commands) that I should be following to achieve this, as well as reverting to the original setup when the PROD site sparks into life again?
Thanks in advance.
