hello,
i'm looking for an easy way to switch the role of primary and
secondary server in an hdr pair without
restoring the instance. i'm using version 9.4x and 10.
thanks

Set DRAUTO to '2' in the ONCONFIG files for both servers and restart.
Then bring the primary offline and restart it. They should have
switched roles.

look in the manuals for hdrmkpri.sh and hdrmksec.sh. these informix scripts
will allow you to switch roles without performing a full restore, a bounce
of the primary is required so there will be some downtime.

I suppose if things get desperate you could try RTFM.
About hdrmkpri.sh and hdrmksec.sh specifically.
