Suspended mode temporarily disables the ability of the primary companion to fail over to the secondary companion. To switch from normal companion mode to suspended mode:
As “root”, use hares to change the attribute Critical for the Sybase resource on primary node to 0. The syntax is:
hares -modify name_of_Sybase_resource Critical 0
Suspend normal companion mode. From the secondary companion, issue:
sp_companion companion_name, suspend
