Status of processes that run at the system level can be viewed from the Work with Systems display.

  1. Do one of the following:

    • From MIMIX Intermediate Main Menu, select option 2 (Work with Systems) and press Enter.

    • From the Work with Application Groups display, use option 12 (Node entries). On the resulting Work with Node Entries display, press F7 (Systems).

     The Work with Systems display appears, showing the local system at the top of the list.

  2. Check the status values displayed.

  • If one or more processes are *UNKNOWN, use Verifying all communications links.

  • If one or more processes are *INACTIVE, use option 9 (Start) to start them on a system. Any processes that are not active on the system are preselected on the resulting Start MIMIX Managers display.
    Note: Except cluster services. To start cluster services, Assure MIMIX for PowerHA users must specify *YES for the Start cluster services prompt.

  • The expected status values for normal operation in a two-system environment are shown below. If the values are not as expected, additional investigation is needed.

Expected Status Values: 

System Managers - *ACTIVE.Investigate error statuses of *ACTREQ and *INACTRJ using Resolving system manager problems and backlogs.

Journal Managers - *ACTIVE Investigate warning statuses of *INACTASP, *JRNRCVCNT, and *RCYASP using Resolving ASP 1 storage threshold warning problems.
Note: In environments with a Assure MIMIX for PowerHA license and you are only controlling a switchable independent ASP without MIMIX logical replication capability, the expected status is *NONE.

Target Journal Inspection

For a system that is currently the target system for replication, the expected status is *ACTIVE.For other systems, the expected status is *NOTTGT.Investigate any other status using Displaying status of target journal inspection.

Collector Services - *ACTIVE.

Cluster Services

For most environments, the expected status is *NONE.

In environments licensed for Assure MIMIX for PowerHA the expected status for a system that participates in an IBM i cluster is *ACTIVE.

Procedure Status - *COMP or *NONE.

Investigate any other status value, see Displaying status of procedures.

For more information about operation for Assure MIMIX for PowerHA, see the Assure MIMIX Operations with IBM PowerHA for i book.

Figure 35.Expected status on the Work with Systems display for a two-system environment.

Note: There may be a delay of 5 minutes or more before the Journal Manager status is updated. How often this information is updated is determined by the local system’s configured value for the Journal mgr delay (JRNMGRDLY) parameter in its system definition, which defaults to 300 seconds (5 minutes).
