Upon starting Secondary/Failover server after completing failover configuration, the Secondary/Failover server will be connected to the database and will listen to the Primary server. However, the installation will not be started completely as the Primary is already up and running.
Following is the output obtained upon executing the nohup command from command line or viewing the wrapper.log file under <Applications Manager Home>/logs directory in Primary server:

When Primary server goes down, secondary/failover server will start up completely and will act as the primary server. Email notifications will be triggered on occurrence of a failover where you have to correct the issues with the primary setup that is down. Once the issues are resolved and server is started, this acts as the secondary which will now listen for another failure.
Following is the output obtained in the upon executing the nohup command from command line or viewing the wrapper.log file under <Applications Manager Home>/logs directory in the currently-active Secondary server:
