Whenever the primary server is about to become unavailable (during preventative maintenance periods, for example), the SNA connectivity is switched to the backup server through the following steps:

Step 1. The SNAplus2 Port HAPORT is started on the backup server using the command snapadmin start_port, port_name=HAPORT.

Step 2. The SNAplus2 LS HALS is started on the backup server, if it is configured to be operator started, using the command snapadmin start_ls, ls_name=HALS.
