Oracle Database Error ACFS-05988: Replication Failover Not Supported
Description
This error indicates that an ACFS replication configuration is not set up correctly or is in a state that prevents failover or switchover operations. It occurs when attempting to perform a disaster recovery operation (failover/switchover) on an ACFS file system where replication is enabled but not fully prepared or supported for such a role transition. This can compromise disaster recovery capabilities for the affected storage location.
Error Message

Known Causes
4 known causesUnsupported Replication Mode
The specific ACFS replication mode or configuration chosen might not inherently support failover or switchover operations as designed by Oracle.
Replication Not Ready

Incorrect Site Roles
The primary and standby site roles for the ACFS replication might be improperly configured or have conflicting states, preventing a proper role change.
Missing Configuration Prerequisites
Essential configuration steps or parameters required for failover/switchover support were not completed or are missing from the setup.
