Hi Josi,
it depends on how this command should be issued. Our Linux admins doesn't distinguish between server with SAMP installed / not installed. So I would say that shutdown / reboot of all our Linux Servers must be idendical. Seperating the procedure would not be accepted. But we are testing with SLES12. There it seems to be possible to implement an additional service (script) where the samctrl -u a .. command can be included. Then you can define "dependencies" between the services so that samctrl.. will be issued before the resource controller will be stopped. In SLES11 the implementation in the init,d / inittab must be changed if possible. But here my skill of Linux is insufficient.
regards Rüdiger
Hi Rüdiger,
when I look at your comment "...this tool should assist during planned actions...." - I have one question: "Would your be satisfied with a command "SAMP_reboot" to be used instead of the ordinary "reboot" command of the operating system?
Hello again,
I want to know what IBM think about this. In a "Data Center's real life" it is not possible to stop the applications manually before rebooting a (Linux-) Server because we have to reboot hundreds of then in one night. We use an Automation tool, so this tool should also assist during planned actions like maintenance / reboots. It should be a part of an automation tool like TSAMP! Dear IBM, the status of this RFE "under consideration" doesn' t help. It must be a MUST HAVE.
Regards
Ruediger Dahlke
