Strobe uses space switching system LX PC routines when the Measurement Services Address space (MSAS) or the SQL Agent Address space (SSA) is active. By doing so, when either address space terminates (normally or abnormally), the ASID used for that address space is no longer available for reuse until the system is IPLed again. All Strobe address spaces are meant to be persistent, although these LX PC routines may impact the availability of reusable ASIDs for sites running 24/7 operations.

Compuware recommends using one of the following two methods to deploy Strobe to another LPAR:

  • Method 1: Conduct a full installation to ensure a smooth and correct Strobe installation for the LPAR.
  • Method 2: If you do not require or want to conduct a complete SMP/E installation on another LPAR, you can instead copy the existing SMP/E Target libraries from one LPAR to the other LPAR. Follow the configuration tasks for each of the components. If there is an existing release of Strobe, follow the instructions in Upgrading. Otherwise, use Milestone-3-Configure-Strobe-New-Installation.
