hi all,

i did manage to successfully configure log shipping (log shipping works, and changes in primary db are visible
on a stanby), but i have problems trying to make standby server as primary.

problem is that my database on bouth servers remains read-only (because they are in warm-standby state).


i followed MS instructions by using next stored procedures (original primary server is named as winxp, and standby
is newyork, shupped database is named nwind):


1. on a primary server:

USE msdb
EXEC sp_change_primary_role 'nwind', @final_state=3



2. on a standby server:

USE msdb
EXEC sp_change_secondary_role 'nwind'



3. now i have to update moniotr server, and if i use recomended SP, it returns an error 14442:

USE msdb
EXEC sp_change_monitor_role 'newyork', 'winxp', 'nwind', 'c:\ProductionLogs'


... but it works with:

USE msdb
EXEC sp_change_monitor_role 'newyork', 'nwind', 'winxp', 'c:\ProductionLogs'

4. now, databases on a bouth servers are in a warm-standby state, and i don't know how to continue to use them (or to use database on a new primary server).


please, if you can help me how to achieve that, i tryed everything, but no luck.


thank you in advance!

Just run 'restore database db_name with recovery' on secondary server.
