You must create a failover context to be associated with a configured primary context prior to a system failover. The Failover Context ID must be unique on the associated servers. Refer to Failover context naming conventions for information on valid Failover Context ID names.
To create a failover context associated with the primary context:
On the production and target servers execute:
rtdr -C <Primary Context ID> -F <Failover Context ID> setup
where:
<Primary Context ID> is the primary context on the production server, and <Failover Context ID> is the failover context on the recovery server.
Note: If there is more than one target server and you do not want to use the default for the Failover Server, then use the -s <Hostname> option on the rtdr command to specify the Failover Server. Refer to Syntax for the rtdr command.
