Reload Availability in clustered environment

You can reload availability data in a clustered environment. When you click Reload Availability, PolicyCenter starts the reload on the server node you are logged into. It does not matter which server your user session is running in.

After reloading lookup tables, the server sends a message to all other nodes across the cluster to update the availability data.

All servers in the cluster must have access to the external product model directory. If the server doing the reload cannot access the external directory, PolicyCenter displays an error message after clicking Reload Availability. However, if other servers in the cluster cannot access the external directory, PolicyCenter sends an error message to the log file. If a server in the cluster cannot access the external product model directory, it can have different availability data than other servers in the cluster. Therefore, you must take care in making sure the external product model directory is available to all servers in a cluster.
