When you are logged on to the user interface, and are
successfully connected to a hub monitoring server, you can use Hub Connectivity Administration to browse other hub connections
that are available. While you are browsing the available hub connections,
you can use the multi-hub feature to select a secondary hub connection.
When you select a secondary hub connection, you can save the connection
to your profile, either for the current session only, or to your profile
for the current and future sessions.
From the All Known Hubs (KOBHUBS)
workspace use one of the following methods to select a secondary hub
connection.
Place your cursor next to the hub monitoring server name that
you are interested in, type / and press Enter, then select Select this hub as Secondary from the Options Menu.
Place your cursor next to the hub monitoring server name that
you are interested in, type B and press Enter.
The Secondary Hub Verification workspace
is displayed. A diagram shows two colored information boxes that represent
your hub connections. Under conditions where your primary hub connection
is available, a green box represents the primary hub connection with
an indication that it is ACTIVE. Under
conditions where your secondary hub connection is available, a light
blue box represents the secondary hub connection with an indication
that it is READY.
Tip: Under
conditions when your primary or secondary hub connections are unavailable
when you select your secondary hub connection, you see variations
of Figure 1. Unavailable
connections are indicated by yellow colored boxes on the workspace.
In such conditions, the workspace assists you to locate available
hub connections.
