Other Conditions
If the command does not execute because other conditions exist, SNAplus2 returns the following parameters:
primary_rc
ACTIVATION_FAIL_NO_RETRY
The session could not be activated because of a condition that requires action (such as a configuration mismatch or a session protocol error). Do not retry activating the session. Check the SNAplus2 log file for information about the error condition and correct it before retrying.
ACTIVATION_FAIL_RETRY
The session could not be activated because of a temporary condition (such as a link failure). Retry, preferably after a timeout to allow the condition to clear. Check the SNAplus2 log file for information about the error condition.
secondary_rc
A secondary return code is not returned.
Appendix A, Common Return Codes from snapadmin Commands lists combinations of primary and secondary return codes that are common to all commands.
2.2 add_backup
The add_backup command adds a server to the list of backup master servers in the sna.net file so this server can act as the master configuration file server if the current master becomes inactive. The new server is added to the end of the list; it will only become the master server if all other servers listed in the file are inactive.
This command must be issued without specifying a node name.
