Specifies a list of alternate database servers that is used to failover new or lost connections, depending on the failover method selected. See the FailoverMode property for information about choosing a failover method.
Valid Values
(servername1[:port1][;property=value[;...]][,servername2[:port2] [; property = value [;...]]]...)
The server name (servername1, servername2, and so on) is required for each alternate server entry. Port number (port1, port2, and so on) and connection properties (property=value) are optional for each alternate server entry. If the port is unspecified, the port number of the primary server is used. If the port number of the primary server is unspecified, the default port number of 50000 is used.
Optional connection properties are DatabaseName (DB2 for Linux/UNIX/Windows) and LocationName (DB2 for z/OS and DB2 for i).
Example
The following URL contains alternate server entries for server2 and server3. The alternate server entries contain the optional DatabaseName property.
If using failover with DB2 High Availability Disaster Recovery (HADR), the primary server and any alternate server must be the primary server and a standby server, respectively, that is configured in your HADR system.
