Perform takeover at the local site to change the local site to the primary volume.

Execute the

horctakeover

command at the local site.

PROMPT> horctakeover -g TC01 -d sql01

22.

At the local site, mount the primary volume and start the SQL Server service.

When performing this step, note the following point.

A transaction log backup file is associated with the backup catalog that was created for the last
complete backup of the SQL Server database. However, if this last backup was performed with

NO

assigned to

LOCAL_BACKUP

in the user script file, no backup ID was assigned. Therefore, when the

transaction log backup information is displayed by executing

drmsqllogbackup

with the

-v

option

specified, the backup catalog and the transaction log file do not correspond, and the information
cannot be used for a recovery. In this situation, use the

drmsqlrecovertool

dialog box to select

transaction log backup files that are needed to perform recovery operations and perform the recovery
operations.
