Starting a Node

If no node is running in the database, use hadbm clear to start the nodes even if you are running with inetd. See "Clearing the HADB".

You may want to start a node in the following circumstances:

In most cases, you should first attempt to start the node using the normal start level. You must use the repair start level if starting a node using the normal start level fails or times out.

To start a node in the database, use the hadbm startnode command. The syntax is as follows:

hadbm startnode [--startlevel=level] nodeno [dbname]

For example:

hadbm startnode 1

The hadbm startnode command options are listed in the following table.
