Options
You must specify several options when you join a pod to a pod federation.
Table 5‑3. Options for Joining a Pod to a Pod Federation
Option Description
--joinServer
Specifies the DNS name or IP address of any View Connection Server instance in any
pod that has been initialized or is already part of the pod federation.
--userName
Specifies the name of a View administrator user on the already initialized pod. Use the
format domain\username.
--password Specifies the password of the user specified in the --userName option.
Example
lmvutil --authAs adminEast --authDomain domainEast --authPassword "*" --join --joinServer
123.456.789.1 --userName domainCentral\adminCentral --password secret123
Removing a Pod From a Pod Federation
You can use the lmvutil command with the --unjoin or --ejectPod option to remove a pod from a pod
federation.
Syntax
lmvutil --unjoin
lmvutil --ejectPod --pod pod
Usage Notes
You typically use the lmvutil command with the --unjoin option to remove a pod from a pod federation.
You can run the command on any View Connection Server instance in the pod.
You use the lmvutil command with the --ejectPod option only to remove a pod that is no longer
available, for example, in the case of a hardware failure. You can perform this operation on any pod in the
pod federation.
IMPORTANT In most circumstances, you should use the lmvutil command with the --unjoin option to
remove a pod from a pod federation.
These commands return an error message if the Cloud Pod Architecture feature is not initialized, the pod is
not joined to a pod federation, or if the commands are unable to perform specified operations.
Options
When you use the --ejectPod option, you use the --pod option to identify the pod to be removed from the
pod federation.
Example
lmvutil --authAs adminEast --authDomain domainEast --authPassword "*" --unjoin
lmvutil --authAs adminEast --authDomain domainEast --authPassword "*" --ejectPod --pod "East Pod
1"
