A failover relationship can be seen as a partnership link between two servers. Each server can enter into maximum 32 failover relationships and it is also possible for it to enter into multiple failover relations
If a partner server is down or communication was interrupted the state will change to error.
Check if partner server is running or if communication with local server is possible.
Check if you can communicate with Failover Partner Server using a Ping command.
