command line sessions, will detect that the System Manager has exited. Choosing this option will pop up
a confirmation window which allows the shutdown request to be approved or canceled.
As the System Manager exits, a notification window will pop up on each logged on SSM graphical user
interface session informing the user that the GUI has lost connection to the System Manager. The session
user can click the Exit button on this window to exit the SSM session or the Login button to log out of
the session and get a new login window, which can be used once the System Manager has been restarted.
At each command line user interface session, a notification message will be displayed that the client
connection to the System Manager has been lost and the session will be terminated.
These notifications will also happen whenever the client is having communication problems with the
System Manager, even if the System Manager is still running.
Additionally the System Manager can be shut down with the “-m” option of rc.hpss:
% su -
% /opt/hpss/bin/rc.hpss -m stop
5.1.5. Shutting Down the Startup Daemon
To stop the Startup Daemon, use the “-d” option of rc.hpss:
% su -
% /opt/hpss/bin/rc.hpss -d stop
5.1.6. Stopping the Prerequisite Software
To stop the prerequisite software:, use the “-p” option of rc.hpss:
% su -
% /opt/hpss/bin/rc.hpss -p stop
This will stop Kerberos, LDAP and DB2 if the corresponding shutdown scripts exist in /var/hpss/etc.
5.2. Server Repair and Reinitialization
This section describes how to repair or reinitialize an HPSS server.
5.2.1. Repairing an HPSS Server
Repairing a server is the process of instructing the server to reset its internal state and status variables to
their nominal settings. These variables include Operational State, Usage State, Administrative State,
Service Status, Security Status, Software Status, Hardware Status and Communication Status.
Operational State is displayed prominently on the Servers window. If a server encounters an error as it
runs, it may set one or more of these state and status variables to a value indicating the type and severity
of the error. Alarm messages may be generated as well. Repairing a server simply resets all of these
state and status variables to their nominal settings. One or more servers can be repaired with each
request.
To initiate the request, select the desired servers from the Servers window and click on the Repair
