APAR status

• Closed as new function.

Error description

• The collective utility does not expose a method to add and
  remove replicas from the collective configuration.  The lack
  of these methods means in order to build a multi-controller
  topology, a user must invoke an MBean to build the topology.
  This is breaks the consistency of the experience of
  establishing a collective.

  ****************************************************************
  The command-line user experience for creating an HA
  administrative topology is missing the addReplica and
  removeReplica tasks. The lack of these methods means in order
  to build a multi-controller topology, a user must invoke an
  MBean to build the topology. This is a breaks the consistency
  of the experience for establishing a collective.
  

Problem conclusion

• Support for addReplica and removeReplica was added to the
  collective utility. With the addition of these commands a
  highly available administrative topology can be constructed
  seemlessly from the command line.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fix pack 8.5.5.1. Please refer to the Recommended Updates
