Add a Pod to a Site
You can use the lmvutil command with the --assignPodToSite option to add a pod to an existing site.
Prerequisites
Become familiar with the lmvutil command authentication options and requirements and verify that you
have sufficient privileges to run the lmvutil command. See “lmvutil Command Authentication,” on
page 43.
Procedure
u
On any View Connection Server instance in the pod federation, run the lmvutil command with the
--assignPodToSite option to assign a pod to the site.
Repeat this command for each pod that you want to add to the site.
lmvutil --assignPodToSite --podName podname --siteName sitename
Option Description
--podName
Specifies the name of the pod to assign to the site.
--siteName
Specifies the name of the site.
For example:
lmvutil --authAs adminEast --authDomain domainEast --authPassword "*"
--assignPodToSite --podName "East Pod 1" --siteName "Eastern Region"
Remove a Pod From a Pod Federation
You can use lmvutil commands to remove a pod that was previously joined to a pod federation. You might
want to remove a pod from a pod federation if it is being recommissioned for another purpose or if it was
wrongly configured.
You cannot remove the last pod in a pod federation. If you want to disable the Cloud Pod Architecture
feature, use the lmvutil command with the --uninitialize option. See “Disable the Cloud Pod
Architecture Feature,” on page 41.
IMPORTANT Do not stop or start a View Connection Server instance while it is being unjoined from a pod
federation. The View Connection Server service might not restart correctly.
Prerequisites
n
Become familiar with the lmvutil command authentication options and requirements and verify that
you have sufficient privileges to run the lmvutil command. See “lmvutil Command Authentication,”
on page 43.
n
Determine the name of the pod to remove. You can use the lmvutil command with the --listPods
option to list the names of the pods in a pod federation.
