Switchover with more than one partner server
The switchover operation with more than one partner server in principal works like the one with only one partner server. The only difference is that the user first has to select the partner server for which the switchover operation shall be carried out as the operation always applies for one main/standby server pair. As a main server can have many standby servers (one to many relation) but every standby server can only have one main server (one to one relation) this use case can only occur if the user wants to activate a main server that has more than one standby server as partners. In this case, after pressing the <Make This Server Active …> button on the <Switchover settings> dialog, the <Select partner server> dialog will be shown.
Once the partner server is selected, the further operation steps will simply follow the switchover scenario with one partner server.
