Managing the AMASS File System
3-24 Command Reference 6-00028-01 Rev A
amassstat
View and change the current status—Active or Inactive—of
AMASS.
Shutdown Tasks
Prior to shutting down, AMASS performs the following tasks:
• Prevents new files from being opened
• Waits five minutes (default) to allow all files to close
- If this time expires and there still are open files,
AMASS remains Active but sends a warning message,
unless the -f option was used.
• Updates the checkpoint area
• Notifies clients of the impending shutdown
• Gracefully shuts down AMASS
• Sends a failure message to clients if they request a file from
the AMASS file system after it is shutdown
Note
After a system reboot, AMASS comes up in an Active state
regardless of the status before the reboot.
