Scenario: Client has a primary server and an RSS server and the primary goes down. The RSS server is changed to standard to allow clients to continue to connect.

Is there a way of bring up the old primary and revert the new primary back to an RSS server without major interruptions to the client connections? I can do it by rebuilding the RSS server but I was wondering if there was a better way.

Thanks

The standard method is to bring up the old primary, make it an RSS secondary
to the new primary, then, once it has caught up, reverse them making the old
primary primary again and the original RSS secondary secondary again. The
second part will have to be done during a maintenance window as making the
reversal will force out any connected sessions.
