HDR - resuming secondary

Hi, I had to bounce my primary database which is replicated to another database (secondary, read-only) on another box. When I bounced the primary database, it broke the replication with secondary. when I ran onstat -g dri to check replication status on secondary it did not show secondary (read only). It only showed ONLINE status. So I ran onmode -d secondary <primaryserver>, this made it back to secondary. My question is every time i bounce primary do I need to set secondary manually?...I thought it will go back to its original replication status after bouncing successfully. Your responses will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Sunita

Note that in some versions there were disabled but were reinstated in 9.40 and later IB. These parameters control the behavior of the secondary when it finds that the primary has gone down and of both servers if the primary is restarted later. There are several options, the default for which (and the only option for versions without the DR* parameters active) is what you witnessed, that the secondary remains a secondary and the primary comes back online as a standalone server.
