Online command usage for virtual host junctions

The following pdadmin command syntax is appropriate for use with virtual host junctions:

server task instance-webseald-host virtualhost online [-i server_uuid] vhost_label

Use the -i option to specify the UUID of the junctioned server being placed in an online operational state. If a server is not specified using this option, then all servers located at the junction are placed in an online operational state.

In the following example, the virtual host junction with the label support-vhost-https, configured on the WebSEAL server abc.ibm.com, supports the virtual host support.ibm.com, located on the back-end junctioned server int3.ibm.com.

There is a requirement to place the int3.ibm.com server in an online operational state. To determine the UUID of this junctioned server, run the server task virtualhost show command:

pdadmin> server task default-webseald-abc.ibm.com virtualhost show support-vhost-https

Output is similar to:

Virtual Host label: support-vhost-https
Type: SSL
...
Virtual hostname: support.ibm.com
Alias: ibm.com
Alias: support
Virtual Host junction protocol partner: support-vhost-http
