24: StandbyDisconnect
Usage: fmsadmin STANDBY DISCONNECT [options]
Description:
Removes the standby configuration connection between the primary server and
the standby server.
The server must be a primary or standby server to run this command.
Run this command on the primary server to disable the standby configuration
and stop sending updates to the standby server. After this command
completes, the primary and standby servers are changed to standalone
servers.
Run this command on the standby server in the event that the primary server
has failed. This command changes the standby server to a standalone server
so it can host files. Running the STANDBY DISCONNECT command on the
standby server is also known as "failover."
Files that are on the standby server do not automatically open after the
server has disconnected from the primary server. You must manually open the
files to allow FileMaker clients to use them.
When you run the STANDBY DISCONNECT command, the "Automatically Open
Database Files" setting is disabled on the standby server. The files will
not open after FileMaker Server restarts unless you change this setting.
Caution: Do not allow two FileMaker servers to host copies of the same
file. This may allow FileMaker clients to unintentionally save data to
the wrong copy and compromise data integrity.
Options:
-w seconds, --wait seconds
Specify time in seconds for command to time out.

Usage: fmsadmin STANDBY HOSTNAMES [PRIMARY_HOST] [STANDBY_HOST]
Description:
Sets the FileMaker Server names on the primary and standby servers.
FileMaker clients see these names when they use the Open Remote File dialog
box.
The server must be a primary server to run this command.
