11.7.2 Batch switching the primary Manager and the secondary Manager
To switch the primary Manager and the secondary Manager, execute the jpcconf primmgr notify command in PFM - Manager on the secondary Manager.
- Organization of this subsection
(1) Procedure for batch switching the primary Manager and the secondary Manager
-
In PFM - Manager on the secondary Manager, execute the jpcconf primmgr notify command.
The PFM - Manager that executed the command is set as the primary Manager. The host name that is newly set as the primary Manager is distributed as a batch to all the hosts in the PFM system on which the Status Server service is running.
The host name is not distributed to hosts on which the Status Server service is stopped. When the PFM - Manager service on the primary Manager stops for some reasons such as that the host going down, distribution to PFM - Manager on the primary Manager will fail. For details about actions when a distribution fails, see 17.3.2 The host name is not distributed to agents when the jpcconf primmgr notify command is executed and 17.3.3 The host name is not distributed to the primary Manager when the jpcconf primmgr notify command is executed.
For details, see the description of the jpcconf primmgr notify command in the manual JP1/Performance Management Reference.
-
Output the setting result of the primary Manager to a file.
After execution of the jpcconf primmgr notify command and distribution to all hosts have completed, the result is output to a file in CSV format. For details, see the description of the jpcconf primmgr notify command in the manual JP1/Performance Management Reference.
(2) Checking the progress or result of distribution performed by a batch switch
Check whether the host switch and batch distribution of the host name have succeeded. Perform the switch operation again as necessary.
(a) Checking the progress of distribution
You can check the progress of distribution by using the jpcconf primmgr notify command. For details, see the description of the jpcconf primmgr notify command in the manual JP1/Performance Management Reference.
(b) Checking the result of distribution
You can check the result of distribution by checking the CSV file output by the jpcconf primmgr notify command. If a distribution fails, you will need to perform a batch switch or separate switch again. For details, see 17.3.2 The host name is not distributed to agents when the jpcconf primmgr notify command is executed and 17.3.3 The host name is not distributed to the primary Manager when the jpcconf primmgr notify command is executed.
(3) Setting linkage with other products
When the system is linked to other JP1 products in a multiple-monitoring environment before the manager is switched, you will need to reset linkage with those products after the switch has completed. For details about the settings of linkage products required for multiple monitoring, see 11.3.3 Link with other systems in a multiple-monitoring environment.
