Data Source shows Warning after failover

Question

We have Automated Availability Manager 5.1.2 and Co-Standby Server AAdvanced clustering an Oracle 9i database on two servers running Windows 2000 Advanced Server. Last week the power spiked in the main dataroom taking out the UPS at the same time. AAM failed over to the secondary server, but since then the data sources are showing up as 'Warning' and we can not relocate back onto the primary server. The data source status is as follows: -------------------- Feb 2, 2009 12:01:34 PM Details for mirror volume volume: rgr01dso01 Mounted Drive: E File System: NTFS Total Space: 440,225,177,600 Bytes Available Space: 128,580,841,472 Bytes Mirror Link: Up View from local host 'server2' --------------------------------- Local Mirror Status : Online Source Member : Local Local Member State : Healthy Remote Member State : Broken View from remote host 'server1' --------------------------------- Local Mirror Status : Offline Source Member : Not Applicable Local Member State : Broken Remote Member State : Broken Volume Info: rgr01dso01: Online; Dispatcher: Not Active, Not Suspended Member Server Disk Sig Offset Length State 1 server1 19A2813B7 7E00 667F772400 100 Broken 2 server2 767D1C13 7E00 668B3B5400 100 Healthy ----------------------- I only got limited training on using AAM, which didn't include fixing mirroring problems like this. When we selected server2 datasource, the button 'Resynchronise using selected node's drive as the source' becomes active, but the help system doesn't actually mention its exsistence! Can someone confirm if that is how we can restart the mirror and so relocate back to the primary server. TIA Tim

Hi,Please execute the restart mirror because it is status of Broken. Please make the data source again if you cannot do the restart mirror.

Restarting the mirror did work and it was the 'Resynchronise using selected node's drive as the source' button that restarted the mirror on each data source.Thanks for guidance.
