Starting and stopping instructions are provided for the following Server Management components:
At the server console or in the Xterm window, enter /etc/init.d/novell-zfs start.
To verify that the Policy and Distribution Services is started, enter /etc/init.d/novell-zfs status.
At the server console or in the Xterm window, enter /etc/init.d/novell-zfs restart.
If Policy and Distribution Services is running at the time this command is issued, it is both stopped and restarted.
To verify that the Policy and Distribution Services is started, enter /etc/init.d/novell-zfs status.
At the server console or in the Xterm window, enter /etc/init.d/novell-zfs stop.
To verify that the Policy and Distribution Services is stopped, enter /etc/init.d/novell-zfs status.
To start all Inventory services:
At the Linux server prompt, go to /etc/init.d.
Enter ./novell-zdm-inv start.
To start a specific Inventory service:
At the Linux server prompt, go to /opt/novell/bin.
Enter StartSer Inventory_service.
To stop all Inventory services:
At the Linux server prompt, go to /etc/init.d.
Enter ./novell-zdm-inv stop.
To stop a specific Inventory service:
At the Linux server prompt, go to /opt/novell/bin.
Enter StopSer Inventory_service.
The installation script automatically starts the Linux Management Agent and the Advanced Trending Agent. However, you might want to manually start the agents during specific scenarios.
The Linux Management Agent comprises of two parts: servinst and novell-log2trapd.
When you start the SNMP service, servinst and the Advanced Trending Agent are automatically started.
To manually start servinst:
At the server console or in the Xterm window, enter /etc/init.d/snmpd start.
To verify that the SNMP service is started, enter /etc/init.d/snmpd status.
To manually start novell-log2trapd:
At the server console or in the Xterm window, enter /etc/init.d/novell-log2trapd start.
To verify that the SNMP service is started, enter /etc/init.d/novell-log2trapd status.
You seldom need to stop the Management and Monitoring Services agents on Linux servers.
This procedure is a reference to enable you to manually stop the services during specific scenarios.
To stop the agents:
At the server console or in the Xterm window, enter /etc/init.d/snmpd stop.
When you specify the above command, all of the agents working with snmpd stops. If you do not want to load the Advanced Trending Agent or servinst, do the following before restarting the snmpd service:
In the /var/opt/novell/log/zenworks/zfs-mms-advtrend-rpm.log file, locate the line Modifying path/*snmpd.conf, where path is the complete path to the configuration file.
Open the configuration file specified in the above line.
Comment the line dlmod agentname path.
IMPORTANT:The name of the agent is servinst for Server Management and advtrend for Advanced Trending Agent.
Start the snmpd service.
To manually stop novell-log2trapd:
At the server console or in the Xterm window, enter /etc/init.d/novell-log2trapd stop.
