A Warning banner message appears indicating that “Global Provisioning has been manually disabled”.
Note:
- Event(s) 10008 appearing at this time can be ignored.
- For DSR systems, return to NOAM Failover Process Flowchart for next steps.
For SDS systems only, continue with the next steps in this procedure:
1. Access the command prompt (CLI).
2. Log in to the server as the admusr user.
```
rlghnc-sds-NO-b login: admusr
Password: <admusr_password>
```
  Note:
  The password will not appear on the screen when you type the characters.
  The following output appears as the server returns to a command prompt.
  *** TRUNCATED OUTPUT ***
```
RUNID=00
VPATH=/var/TKLC/rundb:/usr/TKLC/appworks:/usr/TKLC/awpcommon:/usr/TKLC/comagent-gui:/usr/TKLC/comagent-gui:/usr/TKLC/comagent:/usr/TKLC/sds
PRODPATH=/opt/comcol/prod
[admusr@rlghnc-sds-NO-b ~]$
```
3. Confirm that you are connected to the Primary Active NOAM Server which is indicated as VIP Active.
```
[admusr@rlghnc-sds-NO-b ~]$ hostname
rlghnc-sds-NO-b
[admusr@rlghnc-sds-NO-b ~]$ ha.mystate -i |grep VIP
    VIP   Act/Act rlghnc-sds-NO-b          0      0302:235736.946
[admusr@rlghnc-sds-NO-b ~]$
```
4. Verify the value for pdbRelayEnabled.
```
[admusr@rlghnc-sds-NO-b ~]$ iqt -zhp -fvalue ProvOptions where "var='pdbRelayEnabled'"       
TRUE
[admusr@rlghnc-sds-NO-b ~]$
```
  Note:
  - If the value is false, then this procedure has been completed. Hence, return to figure 1 for next steps.
  - If the value is true, then continue with further steps of this procedure.
5. Retrieve the pdbRelay timestamp.
```
[admusr@rlghnc-sds-NO-b ~]$ iqt -zhp -fvalue ProvOptions where "var='pdbRelayMsgLogTimeStamp'"
1524776142883
[admusr@rlghnc-sds-NO-b ~]$
```
  Record the value for the pdbRelay timestamp retrieved in the previous step.
```
pdbRelayMsgLogTimeStamp:
```
  Note:
  Wait for 30 seconds before executing the next step.
6. Retrieve the pdbRelay timestamp again.
```
[admusr@rlghnc-sds-NO-b ~]$ iqt -zhp -fvalue ProvOptions where "var='pdbRelayMsgLogTimeStamp'" 
1524776142883
[admusr@rlghnc-sds-NO-b ~]$
```
  Record the value for the pdbRelay timestamp retrieved in the previous step.
```
pdbRelayMsgLogTimeStamp:
```

Note:

Ensure that the time stamps recorded in last two steps are an exact match.
If the values do not match, repeat the last two steps.
Do not return to NOAM Failover Process Flowchart until both the time stamps recorded match.
