Recovery of databases for warm standby method

If you are using the warm standby method, Adaptive Server must know whether it is starting the primary or the secondary server. Use the -q option of the dataserver command to specify that you are starting the secondary server. If you do not start the server with the -q option:

See “Starting the secondary server with the -q option” for more information.

The recovery sequence proceeds differently, depending on whether the database is marked in quiesce.


Recovery of databases that are not marked “in quiesce”

Under the -q option, if a database is not marked in quiesce, it is recovered as it would be in the primary server. That is, if the database is not currently in a load sequence from previous operations, it is fully recovered and brought online. If there are incomplete transactions, they are rolled back and compensation log records are written during recovery.
