Error description
A zEnterprise ensemble is managed by a pair of HMCs that operate in a primary/alternate configuration rather than by a single HMC. At any point in time, one HMC of the pair is designated as the primary HMC and has active management responsibility for the resources of the ensemble. The other HMC is designated as the alternate HMC, and when in this role acts only as a standby for the primary HMC and mirrors configuration updates from the primary in case the primary fails, but does not otherwise perform active management. The Web Services API should be enabled on both the primary and alternate HMCs of the pair in order to use the function. The HMC UserIDs and Passwords used for the SA ProcOps should be in sync on both HMCs in the pair.
