Startup parameter: quiesce

Startup parameters change the behavior of the HPE Service Manager server. You can always set a startup parameter from the server's operating system command prompt.

Parameter

quiesce

Valid if set from

Server's operating system command prompt

Description

This parameter sets login restrictions to prevent users from logging on to HPE Service Manager processes. This gives System Administrators a way to stop users from logging on to HPE Service Manager processes, and wait for existing users to gracefully log off before starting system maintenance or testing tailoring activities.

There are three levels of login restrictions. Quiesce level 1 restricts all users, except System Administrators, from logging on to HPE Service Manager processes. Quiesce level 2 restricts all users from logging on to HPE Service Manager processes. Quiesce level 0 (zero) sets HPE Service Manager processes to allow user logins. In the vertical scaled or horizontal scaled environment, HPE Service Manager loadBalancer does not forward any client connection requests to HPE Service Manager processes that are in quiesce level 1 or 2. If System Administrators want to connect to a HPE Service Manager process in quiesce level 1, they must connect directly to the HPE Service Manager process without connecting through HPE Service Manager loadBalancer.

For detailed information on when quiesce mode can be set and how logins are restricted in a vertical scaled environment and a horizontal scaled environment, see the related topics.

Note If the "-group" or "-host" option is not specified, the quiesce command applies to all HPE Service Manager processes on the local host.

Requires restart of the Service Manager server?

Default value

Possible values

0 (Allows all users, no restrictions)

1 (Restricts all user logins, except System administrators)

2 (Restricts all user logins)

Example usage

Example 1: The System Administrator runs the following command to set quiesce mode 1 on all HPE Service Manager processes on the local host. All users are restricted from these processes, except the System Administrator.

Command line: sm -quiesce:1

Example 2: The System Administrator runs the following command to set quiesce mode 1 on the host whose IP address is 15.28.113.121 in the horizontal scaled group.

Command line: sm -quiesce:1 -host:15.28.113.121

Example 3: The System Administrator runs the following command to set quiesce mode 2 for all HPE Service Manager processes in the horizontal scaled group. This restricts all users from accessing HPE Service Manager processes in the entire cluster.

Command line: sm -quiesce:2 -group

Example 4: The System Administrator has completed system maintenance and runs the following command to bring the system back to non-quiesce mode. All HPE Service Manager processes in the horizontal scaled group that were quiesced can now accept user logins.

Command line: sm -quiesce:0 -group

Example 5: The System Administrator runs the following command to set HPE Service Manager processes on host 15.28.113.121 to non-quiesce mode. HPE Service Manager processes on host 15.28.113.121 now accept user logins.

Command line: sm -quiesce:0 -host:15.28.113.121
