When the primary DPM server is available again, you switch protection back to the primary DPM
server to enable the primary DPM server to resume protection of the computers. You must also
switch protection on the secondary DPM server to enable it to resume secondary protection of the
data sources protected by the primary DPM server.
When you resume secondary protection, the replicas for the protected data sources will be
inactive. You must add the data sources to a protection group on the secondary DPM server
again, using the automatic replica creation option, and then the replicas will become active.
Note
After you resume secondary protection, if the replicas are not inactive, run
SwitchProtection.ps1 on the secondary DPM server again.
Example
In the following example, you switch primary protection for computer SQL1 to the secondary DPM
server, DPM2, for recovery or continued protection, by running the following command on DPM2:
SwitchProtection.ps1 dpmservername dpm2 psname sql1 protectiontype
primary username administrator password Password~1 domain dc990
In the following example, you switch primary protection for computer SQL1 back to the primary
DPM server, DPM1.
First, you run the following command on DPM1:
SwitchProtection.ps1 dpmservername dpm1 psname sql1 protectiontype
