Failover and Failback SQL Server Log Shipping I had a question on Log shipping Manual Fail over

Let me explain about environment, Primary Server A (with Cluster setup A-P Mode) Secondary server B(DR server standalone).

We had enabled Log Shipping on a database TEST from Primary Server and now we would like to test by doing a manual fail over and i had few questions.

Log Shipping Jobs are disabled on both A and B Servers and Log shipping is not disabled or removed, Once the Server B is brought online by restoring the all the logs from Server A  


Can i re-attach/reconfigure the secondary database to existing Log shipping once it is online.
I tried using backup with no recovery option on secondary database and log shipping restore jobs are skipping.
Is there any method expect role changing can we reconfigure the log-shipping without restoring the database from first?


any references would be appreciated.

Thank You
If i understand correctly, you want to reinitialize log shipping from B to A?

If yes, then once you bring the DR site database (B) online you automatically break the LSN chain hence the restore log files will be skipped. The only way to reestablish log shipping is to remove log shipping setup completely, create backup of database B, restore at database A in stand by/readonly and then setup log shipping from B.
