CORBA 2.6 Administration Guide

You do not need to shut down the environment to reconfigure server pools. Because editing and running the
nsdstart script requires a complete environment shutdown, reconfiguring server pools by using the appropriate
PATHCOM commands may be more efficient.
Adding a Server Pool
To add a server pool, use the SET SERVER and ADD SERVER commands. Then use the START SERVER
command to start the pool. For details about how to do this, refer to the nsdstart script.
Modifying Running Server Pools
To remove or alter a running server pool, you must:
Freeze the server pool1.
Stop the server pool2.
Delete or modify the server pool3.
Thaw the modified server pool4.
Start the modified server pool5.
Stopping a Running Server Pool
Before you can modify a running server pool, you must stop it. First, use the FREEZE SERVER command to
disable server communications with other processes in the environment. After a server pool is frozen, you can
stop it by issuing a STOP SERVER command.
For example, the following commands stop all server processes in server pool NS:
= FREEZE SERVER NS
= STOP SERVER NS
To stop all server pools in your TS/MP configuration, use the following two commands:
= FREEZE SERVER *
= STOP SERVER *
To confirm that server pools are frozen or stopped, use the STATUS SERVER command.
Once the server pool is stopped, you can use PATHCOM commands to either delete the server pool or to modify
the server attributes.
Restarting a Server Pool
To restart server pool NS, you must first thaw the server, then start it, as shown:
= THAW SERVER NS
= START SERVER NS
The following commands restart all server processes:
= THAW SERVER *
= START SERVER *
