Try forcing the currently ACTIVE node to STANDBY. Your 11.6.0 HF4 appliance would not report online STANDBY status if the HA was completely missing. However, you may have to reconfigure the HA later on, to get the synchronization working properly. To sum it up, I think you should be able to initiate a cluster failover - give it a try ;)

It is not possible to force a standby unit active. When the active unit is forced to standby then the standby unit will go active in response.
