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 IBM
Spectrum Protect command line:
halt
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). The pid is displayed at initialization.
Important: Before
you issue the kill command, ensure that you know the correct process ID for the
IBM
Spectrum Protect 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.
