The Partner Fileshare Table

The following table explains the information that is displayed in the Partner Fileshare Table:

Title Description
Node The order of the nodes as listed in the ES_HA_VSAM environment variable. The current node is always displayed first, and then the other group nodes, in order.
Name The name of the node.
Connection Status Connection status in relation to the group; this is either acquired (in the group) or released (not in the group).
Role The role that the current node is assigned within the group. This can be one of primary, standby, or disabled.
Host The host-name of the machine on which the node is located. For example, this can be an IP address, localhost, or a server name, depending on how the ES_HA_VSAM environment variable is configured.
Port The ISC-port of the current node. This is the port on which to host the dynamically generated ISC listener for node.
DBREF An indicator to signify that the dbase.ref file on the current node is fully synchronized with the version on the primary server.
Checked An indicator to signify that the ES_HA_VSAM environment variable is consistent with the version on the primary server.
Prim_ok An indicator to signify that the node is connected to the primary server.
Note: If the column contains different values, it could be when a node drops out of the group, and then there is a change in primary server.
ISCTrace An indicator to signify if ISC tracing is enabled. ISC tracing is enabled using option T when setting the ES_HA_VSAM environment variable.
Rep Seq The latest sequence number assigned to a replication request. This is one of the metrics used to determine the next suitable candidate for primary server in the event of a failover.
Upd Count Internal metrics.
Start Seq Internal metrics.
Response Time The average time (in ms) that a node took to respond to a commit acknowledgment request. Another metric used to determine the next suitable candidate for primary server in the event of a failover.
Takeover An indicator to signify the eligibility of the current node to become the primary server in the event of a failover.
