High Availability Solutions Manager policies

IBM® PowerHA® SystemMirror® for i licensed program no longer supports the High Availability Solutions Managers graphical interface. If you used this interface to setup your PowerHA environment, you have High Availability Solutions Manager policies.

Start of change For customers that used this interface, a new program, QSBDMPPCY (High Availability Solutions Manager Dump Policy), is provided so that users of High Availability Solutions Manager can see the settings for they choose for the solution-based policies. This program is user domain and user state, with *USE public authority. It has no parameters. The output of the tool goes to the current job log as information messages. End of change

Here is an example of how to call the tool and some sample output for the High Availability Solutions Manager default policy choices:

call qhasm/qsbdmppcy

Here is an example of how to call the tool and some sample output for the High Availability Solutions Manager default policy choices:

call qhasm/qsbdmppcy
SBGPOLICIES:
     CRTUSRPRF: *ADDMRE                 
     DLTUSRPRF: *RMVMRE                 
     RSTDSTATE: *NOSWTCRG *VRYOFF       
     PWRDWNSYS: *NOSWTCRG *VRYOFF       
     FAILOVER: *SAMESITE

Here is some sample output when the policy file does not exist (the normal case for non-SBG environments):

call qhasm/qsbdmppcy
SBGPOLICIES: *NONE

The following table describes the output policy keywords and values for the policy settings:

Table 1. High Availability Solutions Manager graphical interface policies
Policy Keyword	Policy Description	Policy Values	Policy Value Description
CRTUSRPRF	Default action when a user profile is created.	*ADDMRE	Automatically create the user profile on all other nodes in the high availability solution and add a monitored resource entry (MRE) to the administrative domain to ensure that the profile is synchronized on all the nodes.
CRTUSRPRF	Default action when a user profile is created.	*NOACN	Take no action when a user profile is created.
DLTUSRPRF	Default action when a user profile is deleted.	*RMVMRE	Automatically remove the MRE from the administrative domain for the user profile. Do not delete the user profile on all other nodes in the high availability solution.
DLTUSRPRF	Default action when a user profile is deleted.	RMVMRE DLTPRF *DLTOWNOBJ	Automatically remove the MRE from the administrative domain for the user profile. Delete the user profile on all other nodes in the high availability solution. All objects that are owned by that user profile on all nodes are deleted.
RSTDSTATE	Default action before the primary node enters restricted state.	NOSWTCRG VRYOFF	Shut down the high availability solution without performing an administrative switchover. Vary off the independent disk pool so that all of the data it contains are made unavailable before entering restricted state.
		NOSWTCRG VRYON	Shut down the high availability solution without performing an administrative switchover. The independent disk pool stays varied on and all of the data it contains continues to be available while in restricted state.
		*SWTCRG	Perform an administrative switchover of the high availability solution from the primary node to an available backup node before entering restricted state on the primary node.
PWRDWNSYS	Default action before the primary node performs a power down.	NOSWTCRG VRYOFF	Shut down the high availability solution without performing an administrative switchover. The independent disk pool is varied off and all of the data it contains is made unavailable before powering down the system.
PWRDWNSYS		*SWTCRG	Perform an administrative switchover of the high availability solution from the primary node to an available backup node before powering down the primary node.
FAILOVER	Default action when performing a failover to an available backup node.	*SAMESITE	If possible, failover to a backup node at the same site as the primary node.
FAILOVER		*FSTBKP	Perform a failover from the primary node to the first available backup node in the recovery domain of the device cluster resource group (CRG) associated with the high availability solution.
Any	See above.	*UNKNOWN	Unexpected policy choice value.
Any	See above.	*ERROR	Unexpected error while retrieving policy choice value.
