+ <note><para>The state of the HA state machine depends on the state of the
+ cooperating server. Therefore, it must be taken into account that
+ pausing the state machine of one server may affect the operation of the
+ partner server. For example: if the primary server is paused in the
+ <command>waiting</command> state the partner server will also remain in
+ the <command>waiting</command> state until the state machine of the
+ primary server is resumed and that server transitions to the
+ <command>ready</command> state.</para></note>
