After you have configured manual peer recovery, you trigger a recovery process by using the administrative console; peer recovery can no longer take place automatically. This requirement applies to peer recovery processing only; standard recovery processing of server recovery logs, driven when the server starts, still occurs automatically.
Why and when to perform this task
You usually direct a peer recovery process if an application server becomes unavailable for some reason, for example, a machine failure. The choice of peer server, within the cluster, is arbitrary.
Before you initiate the peer recovery process, ensure that the "problem" server has actually failed and cannot restart. To ensure data integrity, you must initiate a manual peer recovery process only for servers that are not running.
