subs Command—Add Subscribers or Subscribe Databases

Valid in the pmd environment

The subs command adds a subscriber to a parent PMDB or subscribes a database to a parent PMDB.

When you subscribe a host to a PMDB:

• The host must be up.
• CA ControlMinder must be running on that host
• The PMDB must be the parent PMDB of the subscribed host.

When you subscribe a PMDB to another PMDB:

• The parent_pmd configuration setting of the subscribed PMDB must contain the name of the PMDB to which it is subscribing (its parent PMDB).
• CA ControlMinder must be running on the host in which the subscribed PMDB resides.

This command has the following format:

subs pmdname \

[subs(subsname)] \
[host_type(mfHost) sysid(sysID) mf_admin(mfAdmin) port(port)] \
{offset(offset) }
