Transferring all users from one node to another
Notes:
- By default, you can use this facility only if you
have a security authorization level of 9.
- This facility is used in a Sysplex environment to
transfer all users from one IBM Session Manager instance to another. This facility forms the planned
element of the VTAM session recovery mechanism in IBM Session Manager (the other element being recovery after a catastrophic
failure).
- For more information on implementing a VTAM session
recovery mechanism, see 'Parallel Sysplex support' in the IBM Session
Manager Installation and Customization
manual.
To transfer all users from one node to another
If a Standby is available for the required node
then complete the following steps to transfer all users from that node
to its Standby:
- If you have not
opened Node Detail view for the required node then from System view for
a Sysplex Group:
- Select the Group Nodes
tab.
- Right-click the required node.
- From the resulting context menu, select Switch.
- Skip to step 3.
- If you have opened Node Detail view for the required
node then from the toolbar associated with that view:
- Left-click the Switch
sessions from this node to Standby node icon.
- A SwitchPlex pop-up box will appear containing a
message to the effect that all sessions will be transferred from the
selected node to its Standby and the selected node will be shutdown.
- To confirm that you wish to proceed, left-click
the Yes button. Alternatively,
to cancel the operation, left-click the No
button.
