FSPM installs a service which monitors status and manages the Control Path connections to an
Oracle FS System. The service is configured to start automatically when the host is booted up and to remain running until the host is shut down. (When the host is restarted, the service is restarted.) Generally, you do not need to stop nor start the service after installation. As part of troubleshooting procedures,
Oracle Customer Support can request you to stop and start the service. Do not stop the service unless requested by
Oracle Customer Support as diagnostic information can be lost.
The following information describes how to determine if the FSPM service is running. This information also describes how to restart the service, stop the service, and start the service.
Note: Stopping or restarting the service can delete diagnostic information which is useful when investigating problems. You should only stop or restart the service if you are performing troubleshooting procedures or requested to do so by Oracle Customer Support. If you are trying to resolve a problem with FSPM, collect logs from the Oracle FS System before restarting the service. Make sure you include the FSPM host in the collected set of system logs. See the Oracle Flash Storage System Administrator’s Guide or the Oracle FS System Manager (GUI) online help for information on how to collect system logs.
