HDR sites
Not a troubleshooting thread: after the August 2003 Northeast US/Eastern Canada power blackout, Madison Pruet asked whether anyone running Informix HDR had their secondary server located outside the blackout zone, and whether HDR let them keep running instead of shutting down. Replies were mostly light-hearted or speculative — one poster assumed most sites used UPS units and shut down gracefully, another had a New York primary with an Orlando secondary but the primary never went down (apparently on generator). No actual HDR failover experience or conclusion is recorded.

Hi, Did anyone affected by the blackout have the secondary outside of the blackout area?

He's being funny. For some bizarre reason, it was all over the newspaper sand TV here.

We had one of our servers in NY with the secondary in Orlando. The primary didnt go down so I'm guessing they have a generator there. On second thoughts, I will check why it didnt go down.

I'm sure that the UPS folks were able to shutdown gracefully. Just wondering if anyone was able to utilize HDR and avoid having to shutdown at all. Thanks M.P.
