You can stop the server when needed to return control to
the operating system. To avoid losing administrative and client node
connections, stop the server only after current sessions are completed
or canceled.
About this task
To stop the server, issue the following command from
the
Tivoli® Storage
Manager command
line:
halt
The server console stops.
If you cannot connect to the server
with an administrative client and you want to stop the server, you
must cancel the process by using the
kill command
with the process ID number (pid) that is displayed at initialization.
Important: Before you issue the kill command,
ensure that you know the correct process ID for the Tivoli Storage
Manager server.
The
dsmserv.v6lock file,
in the directory from which the server is running, can be used to
identify the process ID of the process to kill. To display the file
enter:
cat /instance_dir/dsmserv.v6lock
Issue the following command to stop the server:
kill -36 dsmserv_pid
where
dsmserv_pid is
the process ID number.
