Verifying the Server Status

After you have made and verified your initial configuration settings, to verify the server status:

  1. Log in to the platcfg utility using one of two methods, either from the system console using root or through an SSH remote session using admusr.
    • To access the platcfg utility from the system console:
      1. Log in as root.
      2. Enter su - platcfg.
    • To access the platcfg utility through an SSH remote session:
      1. Log in as admusr.
      2. Enter sudo su - platcfg.

    Note: The dash (-) is required in the su - platcfg or the sudo su - platcfg command to ensure proper permissions.

  2. Select Verify Server Status from the Policy Configuration Menu menu and press Enter.

    After a server is fully configured, it will show the Server Role as Active or Standby (or Spare in the Index Table of Contents screen, if this is a Policy Management server configured for georedundancy). Unknown is a valid state during initial configuration because the cluster has not been formed. Policy Process Management Status should always be Running.
