A session will be established on a node when you execute a
command. However, a session will fail to be established when the
link or node is down (not operating properly) or the configuration
data is incorrect. NetCI maintains a record of all attempted logon
sessions that failed. If you attempt to execute a command again
on the failed node before 15 minutes have elapsed, NetCI
will not attempt the execution. You must wait 15 minutes after the
last failure before NetCI will attempt to execute the command again.
If the failure to establish connection to a node occurs because
the configuration data is incorrect (for example, because of incorrect
logon information), you can use the ALTNODE command
to change the node's logon information. Once this change
is made, you do not need to wait the required 15 minutes to attempt
another command execution. You can execute the command and NetCI
will immediately attempt to establish a session on the node and
execute the command.
