Once failover to the standby occurs, there is only a single server in
operation. This is known as a degenerate state. The former standby is
now the primary, but the former primary is down and might stay down. To
return to normal operation, a standby server must be recreated, either
on the former primary system when it comes up, or on a third, possibly
new, system. Once complete, the primary and standby can be considered
to have switched roles.
