Database Services Administration : STA Services Daemon

STA Services Daemon

The following topics are discussed here:

Overview

The STA Services daemon is a continuously running Linux service that manages and runs the STA Backup and STA Resource Monitor services. The name of the daemon is staservd.

The STA Services daemon automatically starts when the STA server is booted up, and terminates when the server is shut down. Both the STA Backup and the STA Resource Monitor services run as separate execution threads within the STA Services daemon.

See “STA Backup Service” and “Reset the STA Backup Service Password” for descriptions of these services.

Note – After installation of the STA application, the STA Services daemon starts the STA Backup and STA Resource Monitor services, but because they are not yet configured, they are not activated. The services are not activated to perform their respective functions until they are fully configured. For a description of this process, see the “Configuring STA Services” chapter of the StorageTek Tape Analytics Configuration Guide.

Where:

$STAHOME = /Oracle/StorageTek_Tape_Analytics

# chmod a+x /etc/init.d/staservd
3.
# chkconfig --add staservd
4.
# service staservd start
Starting STAServer Mon Jul 18 14:00:30 MDT 2011 ... started [pid=1147]
