Managing Stacks › Display Workload Manager Status

Display Workload Manager Status

(For IBM's Communications Server only) When Communications Server is running in a sysplex, it can register TCP/IP stacks and Telnet servers with the Workload Manager (WLM). Each Telnet server can register under more than one cluster name.

By checking with the WLM about the relative availability of Communications Server and its servers on each system, a domain name server (DNS) can use this information to route work, or to direct client connections, around the sysplex.

Display the WLM Status of IBM TCP/IP Stacks

The TCP/IP Stack Workload Status panel provides information about registered TCP/IP stacks in a sysplex and their relative availability. This information lets you diagnose problems with the Domain Name Server based on the WLM.

To display the TCP/IP stack WLM status

1. Enter SWL next to an IBM stack entry on the IP Resource Monitor.

   The stack WLM status appears.

Display the WLM Status of Telnet Servers

The Telnet Server Status display and the Telnet Cluster List provide the following information:

• Cluster names under which the server is registered
• Port number
• Registration status of Telnet servers running on the local system

This information lets you determine which Telnet server in a sysplex supports which type of client connection and the relative availability of Telnet server and TCP/IP stack for a particular cluster.

This procedure retrieves information for the server that runs as part of a stack. For a server that runs in its own address space (external Telnet server), you use the same procedure for an ASMON resource instead of a STACK resource.

To display the Telnet Server WLM Status

1. Enter TWL next to an IBM stack entry on the IP Resource Monitor.

   The Telnet Server Status panel appears.

Display Telnet Cluster List

The Telnet cluster list displays the hosts that support the cluster.

To display the Telnet Cluster List

1. Enter S next to the selected Telnet cluster name on the Telnet Server Status display.

   The Telnet Cluster List appears.
