Part III Directory Service Control Center Administration
You can use the following commands at the command line:
dsadm start
dsadm stop
dsadm restart
These commands must be run by the same UID and GID that created the Directory Server, or run by root. For example, if Directory Server runs as user1 , you should run the start, stop, and restart utilities as user1.
Note - When using these commands, also note the following:
When you stop and restart a Directory Server instance with a large cache in memory configured to hold entries, the cache takes some time to refill. While the cache fills again, the instance responds more slowly.
Directory Server may need some time to start depending upon the cache size or on the need to recover from the database transaction log. In such an event, the dsadm start command may exit on error or timeout. If you anticipate this problem, the timeout may be changed using the dsadm set-flags dsadm-startup-timeout command. In the same way, the shutdown timeout may be changed using the dsadm set-flags dsadm-shutdown-timeout command.
On Solaris, role-based access control allows you to run Directory Server as a user other than root.
You can use DSCC to perform this task. For information, see Directory Service Control Center Interface and the DSCC online help. However, this does not apply to the step for enabling and disabling service management. Enabling and disabling service management must be done at the command line when starting and stopping Directory Server.
For more information about dsadm subcommands and options used below, see dsadm(1M).
To start the server, type:
$ dsadm start instance-path
For example, to start a server with the instance path /local/dsInst, use this command:
$ dsadm start /local/dsInst
If the start operation fails after a configuration change, use the --safe option as shown in the following command:
$ dsadm start --safe /local/dsInst
To stop the server, type:
$ dsadm stop [--force] instance-path
For example:
$ dsadm stop --force /local/dsInst
To restart the server, type:
$ dsadm restart instance-path
For example:
$ dsadm restart /local/dsInst
dsadm list-running-instances [--all]
The –all option lists the running instances from any installation path.
dsadm stop-running-instances [-i] [--force]
