Starting the Policy and Distribution Agents on Linux or Solaris

To start the Policy and Distribution Services agents for the first time:

  1. At the server console or in an Xterm window, enter:

    /etc/init.d/zfs start

  2. To verify that the agents have started, enter:

    /etc/init.d/zfs status

    If the TED agents (Tiered Electronic Distribution component) do not start, check the defaultLog.txt file in the ted directory. If the Policy/Package Agent (ZfS policies component) does not start, check the ZFSINIT.LOG file in the smanager directory.

    To look up agent startup errors, see "Tiered Electronic Distribution Errors" and "Policy/Package Agent Errors" in "Policy and Distribution Services" in the Troubleshooting guide. Resolve the problem, then start the agents successfully.

  3. To install and configure Policy and Distribution Services as needed throughout your network, continue with "Configuring Policy and Distribution Services" in "Policy and Distribution Services" in the Administration guide.
