Joining a Pod to the Pod Federation
Use the lmvutil command with the --join option to join a pod to the pod federation.
Syntax
lmvutil --join joinServer serveraddress --userName domain\username --password password
Usage Notes
You must run this command on each pod that you want to join to the pod federation. You can run the
command on any View Connection Server instance in a pod.
This command returns an error message if you provide invalid credentials, the specified View Connection
Server instance does not exist, a pod federation does not exist on the specified server, or the command
cannot complete the operation.
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
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
Name of a View administrator user on the already initialized pod. Use the format
domain\username.
--password 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
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
To remove a pod from a pod federation, use the --unjoin option. You can run the command on any View
Connection Server instance in the pod.
To remove a pod that is not available from a pod federation, use the --ejectPod option. For example, a pod
might become unavailable if a hardware failure occurs. You can perform this operation on any pod in the
pod federation.
IMPORTANT In most circumstances, you should use the --unjoin option to remove a pod from a pod
federation.
