The sections describe how to reconfigure various GR-unaware elements that the secondary System Manager server manages when the server is activated during outages for an extended period of time, typically for more than 4 hours.

For outages that are less than 4 hours and that occur due to a primary System Manager server failure or a partial network breakdown, do not activate the secondary System Manager server.

If you perform the failover, the recovery process might take a few hours, depending on the data size and whether the recovery is done using the primary or secondary System Manager data.
