Using SNAplus2 in a High Availability Environment
Using SNAplus2 with MC/ServiceGuard
snapadmin start_ls, ls_name=HALS
LS details are:
Activation state = active
Port name = HAPORT
In this example, the state of the LS is active, which means the server is
currently providing SNA network connectivity to a remote SNA system.
The snapadmin start_ls command is not useful as a Service
Command, however, because the command returns after displaying the
state information. If snapadmin start_ls were used as a Service
Command, ServiceGuard would interpret the termination of the
snapadmin start_ls process as an indication that the SNAplus2
package had failed. For this reason, the snapmon utility has been
provided for use as a Service command in an SNAplus2 package.
The snapmon utility continuously monitors the state of an SNAplus2
LS by querying SNAplus2 to determine if it is active. If the LS is ever
reported to be in a state other than active, the program terminates. The
only exception is during initialization, when certain errors can be
ignored.
Usage:
snapmon [-i interval] [-r retry_count] conname
conname
identifies which SNAplus2 LS is being monitored
interval
specifies the number of seconds that snapmon waits
between attempts to obtain the status of the LS . If this
parameter is not specified, snapmon will pause 5
seconds between queries. Any number between 1 and
3600 (inclusive) can be specified.
retry_count
specifies how many times snapmon will allow the LS
to be reported in a state other than active when
snapmon is starting. This option is useful if the LS is
configured to be initially active, and the SNAplus2
control daemon, node, port, LS , and snapmon are all
started by ServiceGuard. It allows the LS enough time
to establish communications with the remote system
