Failing back in an active-passive configuration

You can relocate the Adaptive Server resource group back to the primary node when the node recovers and can successfully host the Adaptive Server resources group. This is called failback. A failback in an active-passive configuration is the same as failing over to the primary node; stopping Adaptive Server and its resources on the current node, then relocating and starting them on the primary node. A failback is not required, but can be performed solely for administration purposes. If fail back is not done, the recovered primary node acts as secondary node until another fail over.
