Whether or not you include the do_advisory option, if sp_companion is issued with either the configure or resume option, sp_companion checks a select group of attributes to make sure the companions have compatible values. These are called quorum attributes. If one of the companions has a value for a quorum attribute that is not compatible with the other companion, sp_companion fails.
If sp_companion issues a
message stating that a quorum attribute prevented it from successfully
finishing, run sp_companion... do_advisory for
a list of the problem attributes.
The following is a list of the quorum attributes:
