Clients with the failover property reconnect automatically during fail over. To accommodate this, you must add a line labeled hafailover to the interfaces file to provide the connection information necessary for the client to connect to the secondary companion. You can add this line using either a file editor or the dsedit utility.
For more information about adding this information to the interfaces file or sql.ini, see the appropriate platform-specific configuration chapter.
Client applications must resend any queries that were interrupted by fail over. See Appendix A, “Open Client Functionality in a Failover Configuration,” for more information about client applications.
