Switching the dynamic domain manager to the new dynamic domain manager configured as backup

Switch the old dynamic domain manager to become a backup dynamic domain manager. As a result, the backup dynamic domain manager you installed in the previous step, becomes the current dynamic domain manager.

About this task

Switch to your new dynamic domain manager configured as backup, so that it becomes your current dynamic domain manager, by completing the following steps:
  1. Stop the workload broker server on the dynamic domain manager at the previous product version level, by running the following command:
    On Windows operating systems
    stopBrokerApplication.bat 
 -user username -password password
[-port portnumber]
    On UNIX and Linux operating systems
    stopBrokerApplication.sh
 -user username -password password
[-port portnumber]
    where username and password are the values specified during the dynamic domain manager installation. The parameter portnumber is optional, if it is not specified, the default is used.
  2. Switch the dynamic domain manager to its backup workstation. Use either the Dynamic Workload Console or run the command:
    conman 
switchmgr dyn_dom;new_mgr_cpu
    where dyn_dom is the domain where you installed the backup dynamic domain manager and the new_mgr_cpu is the backup dynamic domain manager workstation name.
  3. From the new current dynamic domain manager, unlink the old dynamic domain manager workstation:
    conman "unlink old_ddm_wks"
    where old_ddm_wks is the old dynamic domain manager workstation name at the previous product version that now has the backup role.
