Transferring all users from one node to another

Notes:

  1. By default, you can use this facility only if you have a security authorization level of 9.
  2. 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).
  3. 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:

  1. If you have not opened Node Detail view for the required node then from System view for a Sysplex Group:
    1. Select the Group Nodes tab.
    2. Right-click the required node.
    3. From the resulting context menu, select Switch.
    4. Skip to step 3.
  2. If you have opened Node Detail view for the required node then from the toolbar associated with that view:
  3. 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.
  4. To confirm that you wish to proceed, left-click the Yes button. Alternatively, to cancel the operation, left-click the No button.
