AIX: Stopping the server

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.
AIX operating systemsIf 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
AIX operating systemsIssue the following command to stop the server:
kill -36 dsmserv_pid 
where dsmserv_pid is the process ID number.
