fsmgmtd(1M)

NAME
     fsmgmtd - SAM-QFS Manager RPC API server process

SYNOPSIS
     /opt/SUNWsamfs/sbin/fsmgmtd

AVAILABILITY
     SUNWfsmgr

DESCRIPTION
     fsmgmtd is the RPC API (Application Programmer Interface)
     server process.  After the SUNWsamfs or SUNWqfs package is
     installed, this daemon must be manually started by using the
     fsmadm(1M) utility, as follows:

     fsmadm config -a

     The preceding command starts /opt/SUNWsamfs/sbin/fsmgmtd and
     adds the fsmgmt.xml file to
     /var/svc/manifest/application/management.

     To stop the fsmgmtd daemon and disable it in smf, enter the
     following command:

     fsmadm config -n

     After the first manual start, fsmgmtd is started by smf.

     fsmgmtd(1M) performs the following other actions:

     o  Registers the server program with rpcbind(1M).

     o  Initializes the fsmgmt API library to keep track of
        changes made to the various configuration files by other
        processes.

     o  Maintains a timestamp, which allows multiple clients to
        co-exist.

     o  Keeps a check to note that multiple clients are modifying
        the configuration files and sends messages to indicate
        the same.

     o  Initializes tracing for the daemon.

     Tracing can be enabled by including an entry in
     /etc/opt/SUNWsamfs/defaults.conf.  The following example
     lines enable tracing:

     trace
     all = on                       # trace all daemons
     fsmgmt = on                  # enable tracing for fsmgmt

     fsmgmt.options = all oprmsg  # trace all and oprmsg events
     fsmgmt.size = 10M            # limit the trace file size to 10M
     endtrace

     The trace file is written to
     /var/opt/SUNWsamfs/trace/fsmgmt.  For more information on
     tracing, see the Trace File Controls section in the
     defaults.conf(1M) man page.

     The messages in the trace file convey information about the
     state and progress of the work performed by this daemon.
     The messages are primarily used by Sun engineers and support
     personnel to improve performance and diagnose problems.  As
     such, the message content and format are subject to change
     with bugfixes and feature releases.

     The tracing mechanism is similar to the mechanism used by
     other Sun QFS and SAM-QFS daemons.  To prevent the trace
     files from growing indefinitely, you can implement trace
     file rotation.  For information on this, see
     trace_rotate(1M).  You can specify that rotation be
     performed when the trace files reach a certain age and size
     in the defaults.conf file.  For more information, see the
     defaults.conf(4) man page.

     You can start the fsmgmtd daemon at package installation
     time or manually later after the SUNWsamfs or SUNWqfs
     package is installed, by entering the following at the
     system prompt:

     fsmadm config -a
