Managing workload redirection applications

Manage all the physical applications which are mapped to a logical application by only controlling the logical application, either from the command line or from the cluster management console. Any operation you perform on the logical application reflects on its physical applications as well.

Before you begin

For operations to take effect on physical applications mapped to a logical application, workload redirection must already be enabled for the logical application.

Procedure

  • Use the following table to manage your logical application from the command line.
    Action Behavior
    soamreg application_name Registers the logical application and all its physical applications. If the physical application does not exist, new applications are created with the specified names. Be aware that after the logical application is registered, the multi-SSM mode parameter for all the physical applications is set to none.
    soamunreg application_name Unregisters the logical application and all its physical applications.
    soamcontrol app enable application_name Enables the logical application and all its physical applications.
    soamcontrol app disable application_name Disables the logical application and all its physical applications.
  • Use the following table to manage your logical application from the cluster management console.
    Action Behavior
    • Workload > Symphony > Application Profiles > consumer_name > application_name > Action > Add/Remove Applications...
    • Common Tasks > Add and Remove Symphony Applications > Add/Remove Application Tool
    		 When adding a new application or when updating an existing application profile through the Add/Remove Application wizard, creates the logical application's consumer, uploads the service package, and registers the logical application and all its physical applications. If the physical application does not exist, new applications are created with the specified names.

    Be aware that after the logical application is registered, the multi-SSM mode parameter for all the physical applications is set to none.
    Workload > Symphony > Application Profiles > consumer_name > application_name > Action > Unregister Unregisters the logical application and all its physical applications.
    • Workload > Symphony > Applications > application_name > Enable
    • Workload > Symphony > Application Profiles > consumer_name > application_name > Action > Enable

    You can also enable the physical applications associated with a logical application from Workload > Symphony > Applications. Click the logical application to view the list of physical applications associated with it. Select the disabled physical application and click Enable.

    		 Enables the logical application and all its physical applications.
    • Workload > Symphony > Applications > application_name > Disable
    • Workload > Symphony > Application Profiles > consumer_name > application_name > Action > Disable

    You can also disable the physical applications associated with a logical application from Workload > Symphony > Applications. Click the logical application to view the list of physical applications associated with it. Select the enabled physical application and click Disable.

    		 Disables the logical application and all its physical applications.
