Before using this procedure, consult your runbook for any additional procedures that must be performed when switching to the backup system.

1. If this is a planned switch, Precisely strongly recommends that you perform a full set of audits with the most extensive checking available in auditing options. Use Performing audits before a planned switch.

After you complete this phase of the switch you must wait until the original production system is available again. Then perform the steps in Synchronizing data and starting MIMIX on the original production system.
