Can anyone point me to a good read on what the steps are to activate the standby SMGR and if there are any limitations if you are running off of it? I was told this isn't a fully automated process and requires some manual intervention.
 
Just a few clicks.

Disabling Geo Redundancy
Primary SMGR -> Services -> Geographic Redundancy -> Disable Replication. Click Yes.
Activating the secondary System Manager server
Secondary SMGR -> Services -> Geographic Redundancy -> GR Health -> Activate Secondary Server. Click Yes.



I've never had to run production on the secondary server, but have done this in my lab several times without issue.
 
We do it once a year as a failover test.

Once you activate the secondary SMGR go and have a nice cup of tea and slice of cake (it takes a little while)
