ORA-16654: fast-start failover is enabled

Reason for the Error

– The FastStartFailoverTarget property may not be modified.

– The LogXptMode property for either the primary database or the fast-start failover target standby database may not be modified.

– The configuration’s protection mode may not be modified.

– Neither the broker configuration nor the fast-start failover target standby database may be disabled using the DGMGRL CLI DISABLE command.

– Neither the broker configuration nor the fast-start failover target standby database may be removed using the DGMGRL CLI REMOVE command.

– The FAILOVER IMMEDIATE command is not allowed.
