Activating and Deactivating Multiple Services

The Service Manager mutex service feature enables you to activate and deactivate multiple services with a single COA-Request message. A COA-Request message can have more than one service activation request—the multiple service requests might be from the same mutex group or from different groups. The following examples describe how you might use mutex groups to activate and deactivate multiple services.

• Case 1—Multiple mutex services of the same mutex group

  Service Manager activates the multiple mutex services, which are in the same group, then deactivates all previously existing services that are also members of that mutex group. Active services that are members of different mutex groups are unaffected.

• Case 2—Multiple mutex services of different mutex groups

  Service Manager activates the mutex services, which are members of different mutex groups. Service Manager then deactivates all previously existing services that are members of the same mutex groups as any of the newly activated services. Active services that are members of different mutex groups are unaffected.
