smsd(8)


NAME

  smsd - The SysMan Station daemon


SYNOPSIS

  /usr/sbin/smsd


OPTIONS

  -d  Runs smsd as a daemon. This creates a separate process and redirects
      output to the smsd log files.


DESCRIPTION

  The SysMan Station is a client-server application consisting of a daemon
  (smsd) and the SysMan Station graphical user interface (sysman_station(8)).
  The SysMan Station provides the ability to monitor and manage a single
  system or a TruCluster system.  The smsd server is responsible for
  gathering system management data from the host and presenting that
  information to the SysMan Station client. SysMan Station management data is
  collected from the following sources:

    ·  Desktop Management (DMI) - software related management data

    ·  Common Hardware - hardware related management data

    ·  Event Management (EVM) - event data

    ·  SMS data files - SMS configuration data


RESTRICTIONS

  You must have root privileges to run this command.


EXAMPLES

   1.  The following example shows how to run the System Management Station
       daemon:
	    /sbin/init.d/smsd start

   2.  The following explains how to terminate and restart the daemon:

       A System Management Station daemon should not be terminated when
       active client connections exist. To test for active connections to a
       daemon, use the following command:
	    netstat -a | grep 596

       If there are no active clients, the resulting output looks like the
       following:
	    tcp	    0	    0	    *.596	    *.*		    LISTEN

       The output should have no more than a single line with *.596 in the
       fourth column, which indicates the listening port for the daemon.

       If there are active clients, the resulting output looks like the
       following:
	    tcp		    0	    0	    system1.domain.com.596
	    system2.domain.com.2592	    ESTABLISHED
	    tcp		    0	    0	    system2.domain.com.2592
	    system1.domain.com.596	    ESTABLISHED
	    tcp		    0	    0	    *.596	    *.*
		    LISTEN

       In the latter example, an active client connection is indicated in the
       first line of output by its address, system1.domain.com, which is
       appended with the listening port of the daemon, 596. The
       system2.domain.com does not have an address indicating a port of 596,
       and is not relevant here. The clients should be terminated prior to
       termination of the daemon. An attempt to restart the daemon fails if
       such a connection is active. To terminate the daemon on a system (or
       cluster member), execute:
	    /sbin/init.d/smsd stop

       In a cluster environment, there may be an occasion to restart the
       daemons.	 In such a case, the daemon on each node of the cluster must
       be terminated.  After termination of all System Management Station
       daemons, internal data files should be cleared by executing the
       following command in superuser mode (this need be done only once, from
       any cluster member):
	    rm -rf /var/cluster/sms/*/*

       After the data files have been removed, the System Management Station
       daemon for each cluster member may be started (previously described).
