Although closely related to the primary context, a failover context has all of its own attributes for handling a failover and needs its own content identifier or Context ID.
A failover context is the same as its associated primary context, where all relationships and flows are reversed. Many of the logical volumes used by the primary context, such as LFCs, are shared with the failover context. However, some of the volumes are not shared and therefore may be in different locations depending on which server the production is operating on. For example, on the production server during normal operations, or on the recovery during failover operations.
