To avoid the above issues, we recommend you to stop protection for a node after it becomes secondary (so that connections aren’t attempted and user is not locked) and resume protection on it, once it becomes primary. If you don’t face this locking situation on their HSR setups and are comfortable with alerts being raised, you can configure backups on both the nodes so that the service handles the take-over and fail-back.
