N1 Grid Service Provisioning System 5.0 System Administration Guide

Starting the N1 Grid Service Provisioning System Applications

Before you can begin to configure the provisioning system you must start the Master Server, Remote Agents, and Local Distributors.

Starting Applications on Solaris OS, Red Hat Linux, and IBM AIX Systems

The following table lists the commands to start the N1 Grid Service Provisioning System software applications on Solaris OS, Red Hat Linux, and IBM AIX systems. N1SPS-home is the home directory of the application.

Caution – Caution –

Do not use the Bourne shell to start the Master Server or other N1 Grid Service Provisioning System software applications. If you start the Master Server process using the cr_server start command in a Bourne shell, and if a ^C command is issued to any subsequent command in the same shell that started the Master Server, then the database and Master Server processes stop.

In the N1SPS5.0-home/server/bin/roxdb.out file, the following messages appear as the most recent entries:


DEBUG:  fast shutdown request
DEBUG:  aborting any active transactions
