Hi all,

We're looking at setting up a warm-standby server using log shipping and
aren't too sure about how we should trigger failover. Is there a
commonly-used approach which is reliable enough to recommend? Looking at
the documentation, there doesn't seem to be any recommendation. I
preferrably don't want to use a witness server.

Also, what would you say is the best way to tell the failed primary server
that it is no longer the primary server?

Thanks

Thom
