On Primary node \PRI

1. Stop all running applications.

2. Prepare for changing ownership of the disk volumes:

If you are not using the Nomadic Disk Manager:

a. Use the SCF STOP DISK command to stop all ServerNet Nomadic Disk

drives.

b. Change the fiber-optic switches at the primary node to the opposite

position as described in

Moving the Fiber Optic Switches to the Opposite

Position

on page 5-4.

If you are using the Nomadic Disk Manager:

a. Read

Section 7, Nomadic Disk Manager Interface

.

b. Notify Network Services to perform the network switchover to the backup

node, \BCK.

c.

Log on as the super ID and start the Nomadic Disk Manager at a TACL
prompt.

> NOMADIC

d. Use the LISTOPENS command to verify there are no open files on the

Nomadic volumes (except the SAFE.GUARD file on each volume, if
Safeguard is being used).

1 ND> LISTOPENS, SEGMENT *

e. Use the GIVE command to prepare for planned switchover.

2 ND> GIVE DATA

This command toggles the appropriate switch cards, switching the volumes
to \BCK.

3. Stop \PRI if required. If \PRI is to be used for a service or upgrade task, stop the

$ZTSM process to get a refreshed screen for a HP TSM service connection; for a
TSM low-level connection, log off and log on again to refresh the screen.

4. Inform the operators located at the \BCK node that the Nomadic volumes are ready

for switchover.
