The dataserver -q option identifies the secondary server. Do not use the -q option to start the primary server. Under the -q option, user databases that were copied during quiesce database for external dump stay offline until:
You dump the transaction log for a database on the primary server with standby access (that is, dump tran with standby_access) followed by load tran to the copy of this database on the secondary server, and then perform online database for standby access on this database.
You force the database online for read and write access by issuing online database. However, if you do this, the database recovery writes compensation log records, and you cannot load the transaction log without either loading the database, or making a new copy of the primary devices using quiesce database.
System databases come online regardless of the -q option, and write compensation log records for any transactions that are rolled back.
