Procedure 8-7 To configure automatic database realignment
Perform this procedure to enable or disable automatic database realignment on the
main servers.
Caution — The execution of a database switchover depends on how
the database switchover behavior is configured. Alcatel-Lucent
recommends you review Procedure 8-4 before you attempt to perform
this procedure to verify the current database switchover configuration.
Caution — This procedure requires a restart of a 5620 SAM main
server, which is service-affecting. To avoid service interruption,
schedule the reconfiguration to coincide with a maintenance window.
