A Portal to a Portal: DB2 HADR - A Clash of Primaries

I had fun with DB2 this afternoon, following an unplanned restart of BOTH of my DB2 servers.

In essence, neither the primary nor the standby wanted to be ... the primary.

This is what I saw for one of the two databases: -

On original primary
