CSM Primary to automatically reconnect to the standby server after the standby CSM task is recycled or vice/versa Standby reconnects automatically to Primary

Every time one of our CSM started tasks is recycled or if an lpar is IPL'd when the CSM started task comes back up it does NOT reconnect to either the standby or the primray (depending on which CSM task that was shutdow/restarted.

The ability of the surviving CSM to have redundancy is impacted by this.

It is never an acceptable feature/function for the reconnection to have to be manually initiated.

Please supply this functionality.

Thanks

    The reason we do not automatically reconnect today is because we cannot tell whether the disaster is due to an issue that may have "corrupted" the active server. If we reconnect automatically...we would then corrupt the standby server as well and leave you without a valid configuration. I'll make this an uncommitted candidate...but the solution is not as simple as reconnecting automatically. This is similar to how Replication works for DR environments. We don't auto restart replication because it could corrupt the target site.
