Starting and Stopping Directory Server

If Directory Server is part of a cluster, ensure that you are working on the active node for the logical host. Directory Server has no dependencies.

To Start Directory Server

Steps

1. Start Directory Server using one of the following commands:

   • If Directory Server 5.2 is the default version:

     On Solaris OS: /usr/sbin/directoryserver startOn Linux: /opt/sun/sbin/directoryserver start

   • If Directory Server 5.2 is not the default version:

     On Solaris OS: /usr/sbin/directoryserver -useversion 5.2 start On Linux: /opt/sun/sbin/directoryserver -useversion 5.2 start

2. Verify that the Directory Server process is running. For example, on Solaris OS:

   /usr/bin/ps -ef | grep slapd

   ./ns-slapd -D /var/opt/mps/serverroot/slapd-host1 -i /var/opt/mps/ \ serverroot/slapd-host1

   • If Directory Server 5.2 is the default version:

     On Solaris OS: /usr/sbin/directoryserver stopOn Linux: /opt/sun/sbin/directoryserver stop

   • If Directory Server 5.2 is not the default version:

     On Solaris OS: /usr/sbin/directoryserver -useversion 5.2 stopOn Linux: /opt/sun/sbin/directoryserver -useversion 5.2 stop
